Do you have document about how xenmotion works? I looked at http://blogs.citrix.com/2012/08/24/storage_xenmotion/ and http://www.citrix.com/wsdm/restServe/skb/attachments/RDY8035/LiveStorageMigrationwithXenServer.pdf, still not quite sure, what happened underneath. For example, what the migration API looks like, what's the parameter for each api, what happened after you call the APIs on both destination storage pool and source storage pool.
