Systems and techniques are described for determining the status of migrating virtual machines. A described technique includes initiating a migration of one or more virtual machines from a source host that is located at a source site to a destination host that is located at a destination site. A determination is made that a fault has occurred during the migration of the one or more virtual machines. In response to determining that the error has occurred, a determination is made, for each virtual machine of the one or more virtual machines, whether the virtual machine has been fully migrated from the source host to the destination host.
