Public bug reported:

Summary:
When block-migrating a vm between two compute nodes, if the destination node lacks ssh daemon or refuses ssh connection, the block-migration would fail and cause permanent damage to the vm, vm will be unusable and no easy way to recover.

Scenario:
Block-migrating a vm between two compute nodes

Example:
Compute Node 1: ly-compute1 (10.0.0.31)
Compute Node 2: ly-compute2 (10.0.0.32) with VM: test11

The below tutorial is what I followed for openstack installation, it doesn't say about installing ssh support on compute nodes, so I didn't install ssh on both compute nodes.
OpenStack Installation Guide for Ubuntu 12.04/14.04 (LTS)
http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/install-guide/install/apt/content/

Error occurs when I use the command "nova migrate --poll test11" trying to migrate vm "test11" from ly-compute2 to ly-compute1.
both error message and log said that ssh connecting to 10.0.0.31 failed (because ssh daemon is NOT even installed.) And the vm "test11" will enter a vm_state error state.

*********************************************************************

Request:
This fault is VERY DANGEROUS, because it will cause permanent damage to the vm of a user. The migrate_disk_and_power_off function from nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py should pre-check if ssh daemon is running on dest node, before the actual block-migration process.
