Hi Chris Lalancette,
Thanks for responding to my e-mail.
I tried the virsh migrate --live command and checked for the libvirtd service. It is still running.
[root at RHEL53Xen1 ~]# xm list
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Copy_RHELVM3 3 511 1 -b---- 134.7
Domain-0 0 1507 4 r----- 221921.5
[root at RHEL53Xen1 ~]# service libvirtd status
libvirtd (pid 3871) is running...
[root at RHEL53Xen1 ~]# virsh migrate --live Copy_RHELVM3 xen+ssh://15.154.102.20
error: server closed connection
[root at RHEL53Xen1 ~]# service libvirtd status
libvirtd (pid 3871) is running...
[root at RHEL53Xen1 ~]#
Thanks,
Sandeep

Often this is because libvirtd crashed. After this command, check that libvirtd is still running, and if not, you might want to collect the core dump from it and get the output of "thread apply all bt".

At this point, though, this is an ancient libvirt. I would suggest at least upgrading to the RHEL-5.4 version of libvirt, and see if you can reproduce the issue. If you can, then I would try again with the recently released 0.7.1, and if you are still having problems, then collect the information like I mentioned above.
