==== Manual Steps ====
In order to be able to migrate a VM from one carrier to another, a special unprivileged user called transfer will be created. This user is able to open sftp connections to another carrier and fetch a VM's disk file (qcow2 image).
Install a transfer user.
Create the user and generate an SSH private/public key pair (without a pass phrase): <codesource lang="bash">
lvcreate -L 60G -n transfer local0
mount /home/transfer
adduser -d transfer
# passwd transfer
useradd --comment "User which is used for VM disk file transfer between carriers" \ --create-home \ --system \ --user-group \ transfer passwd transfer</codesource>
