Storage XenMotion allows VMs to be moved from one host to another, > where the VMs are not located on storage shared between the two hosts. It > provides the option to live migrate a VM's disks along with the VM itself. It > is > now possible to migrate a VM from one resource pool to another, or to > migrate a VM whose disks are on local storage, or even to migrate a VM's disks > from one storage repository to another, all while the VM is running. More > information on Storage XenMotion can be found at [1]. > > I have filed a jira request [2] to track this feature. I plan to extend the > migrate > vm cloudstack api call to allow migration of instances across clusters.
