[Blueprint xenapi-live-migration] XenServer (xenapi) live migration support

 

Blueprint changed by John Garbutt:

Whiteboard changed:
  Once host-aggregates is complete, we can use the XenServer/XCP pool
  concept, along with shared storage configured as the default storage on
  that pool, to allow live migration of some images.
  
  Currently Amazon style three part images are loaded into Dom0's file
  system, so there would need to be lots of work to copy these between the
  hosts to ensure the VM can boot.
  
  As a first step, it is best to concentrate on images without an external
  kernel and ramdisk.

+ ****
+ 
+ An early cut of this is available, but currently depends on aggregate changes that are not in trunk, and really requires a bit of refactoring around the libvirt/xenapi differences:
