We should avoid self-referential language like this like the plague, AFAIK. Instead, perhaps talk about the usecase of live migration, perhaps along the following lines:

If the current host of a virtual machine (VM) becomes unsuitable or cannot be used anymore, or if you want to redistribute the hosting workload, you can move the VM to another host without shutting down the VM.


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]. The VM remains on its original node.
