 You can initiate the live migration of a virtual machine (VM) to another node by using the xref:../../virt/live_migration/virt-initiating-live-migration.adoc#virt-initiating-vm-migration-web_virt-initiating-live-migration[{product-title} web console] or the xref:../../virt/live_migration/virt-initiating-live-migration.adoc#virt-initiating-vm-migration-cli_virt-initiating-live-migration[command line].
 
 You can cancel a live migration by using the xref:../../virt/live_migration/virt-initiating-live-migration.adoc#virt-canceling-vm-migration-web_virt-initiating-live-migration[web console] or the xref:../../virt/live_migration/virt-initiating-live-migration.adoc#virt-canceling-vm-migration-cli_virt-initiating-live-migration[command line].
