Hi Devdeep, Shall we need to add an option -- "support storage motion" when adding a cluster against one type of hypervisor, or add something in the global config.

Live migrate a VM with disks from Host A to Host B within the same cluster. This currently works with shared storage. I was thinking of extending it to support local storage too. 2. Live migrate a VM from Host A to Host B across cluster. VM's disks also move from one storage repository to another. 3. Live migrate a VM's disks from one storage repository to another, but VM stays in the same host. I didn't make it clear in my earlier mail, sorry about that. Should it be a separate jira ticket? For each of them the disk offerings for each disk should be honored. That is, if a disk is using shared storage it should be moved to a shared SR. Same applies to disks using local storage too.
