Hi Edison,

Thanks a lot for looking at the changes. I am going through your feedback and 
working on a patch which addresses your review comments. I'll get back to you 
if I have any queries.

> Sorry for the late. Following is my comments on storage motion:
> 1. We shouldn't touch volume state in virutalmachinemanager. I spend a lot of
> time trying to move volume related operations from virtualmachinemanager
> to storage subsystem, better to follow the same pattern.
> 2. The current storage subsystem apis, can only operate on one data object
> (volume/snapshot or template) at one time. In storage migration case, it has 
> to
> deal with multiple volumes at one time.
> My suggestion is that add a new method, like,
> migrateVolumes(Map<volumeInfo, DataStore> volumeMaps), which can
> migrate a group of volumes at one time.
> 3. The code follow will look like:
> virtualmachineManagerImpl:migrateWithStorage(change vm state) ->
> volumemanager: migrateVolumes{do basic check} ->
> volumeService:migrateVolumes{which will change volume state} ->
> datamotionservice:copyAsync(which will find a data motion strategy which
> can handle storage migration for xenserver) ->
> xenserverstoragemigrationstategy:copyAsync(send commands to xenserver
> resource )
> 
> You need to write a datamotion strategy for xenserver storage migration, and
> need to add a method on both datamotionservice, volumeservice,
> volumemanager and DataMotionStrategy, so that they can operate on multiple
> volumes at one time.
> 
> 4. Don't need to add a new api called migrateasync, copyasync has the same
> meaning.
