Where:

• First <Content> node (without an <ldom_info> section) is the source domain to migrate.

• Second <Content> node (with an <ldom_info> section) is the target domain to which to migrate. The source and target domain names can be the same.

• The <ldom_info> section for the target domain describes the machine to which to migrate and the details needed to migrate to that machine:

  • target-host is the target machine to which to migrate.

  • user-name is the login user name for the target machine. Must be SASL 64-bit encoded.

  • password is the password to use for logging into the target machine. Must be SASL 64-bit encoded.

The Logical Domains Manager uses sasl_decode64() to decode the target user name and password and uses sasl_encode64() to encode these values. SASL 64 encoding is equivalent to base64 encoding.
