Generally, yes this should do the trick. So long as the lowest common
set of features is used, then you should be able to live migrate. You
can do a diff on the feature set of each host CPU with: virsh
capabilities
Did you create the instances you are trying to migrate after you
applied the setting? If not, do a cold migrate and then try the live
one again.
Did you apply the setting on both computes? I know this maybe is
obvious, but I've seen people put it on the controllers and not the
computes and wonder why it wasn't working. Doesn't hurt to ask :).
