Public bug reported:

Live migrations are not possible when using Libvirt/Xen with Cinder/NFS
as storage backend.

InvalidSharedStorage: xxx is not on shared storage: Live migration can
not be used without shared storage.

The issue is in the method check_can_live_migrate_source in
nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py. has_local_disks is True, even if there are
only volumes attached to an instance (is_volume_backed is also True).
has_local_disks is True because get_instance_disk_info() returns disks
as local because of the disk type file. NFS volumes are available with
the disk type file in Libvirt and the method get_instance_disk_info()
doesn't check if those disks are volumes or local disks.
