−You would want to use page server feature when performing a [[live migration]]. In most cases, just use [[P.Haul]] which handles the details for you. Otherwise, read on.
+=== Running page server ===
+First, run a page server on a destination node:
+ [dst]# criu page-server --images-dir $DIR --port $PORT [--auto-dedup]
+The options are:
+; --images-dir
+: A directory to write memory images to. To speed things up, you might want to use tmpfs (see [[disk-less migration]]).
+; --port
+: A port number to listen at.
+; --auto-dedup
+: Perform auto deduplication of images. Useful with iterative memory dumps.
+=== criu pre-dump/dump ===
+With page-server, you need to specify additional arguments to <code>criu pre-dump</code> or <code>criu dump</code> commands. They are:
+; --page-server
+: Send pages to a page server (rather than writing to disk files)
+; --address $IPADDR
+: IP address of the page server (destination host).
+; --port $PORT
+: Port number the page servers is listening at.
+=== Video ===
