Yes, CloudStack 4.4.2 supports VOLUME live migration with the vm in running 
state ( ui and cloudmonkey ), on VMware vSphere. I have test the live migration 
with ROOT volume and DATA volume.
And the VOLUME live migration in CloudStack API is difference from VMware 
vCenter Storage vMotion which the all files of the VM (.vmdk, .vmx , .vmxf and 
.log etc) move to another VMFS of NFS storage.
My question is: Does CloudStack support Storage vMotion? Not only volume live 
migration.
Thanks.

I am curious, when you say you used VMware's Storage vMotion, do you mean the 
intent was to live migrate the storage underlying one of your VMs? I was not 
aware that CloudStack supported this.

I believe CloudStack supports the offline migration of VM disks, but it seems 
to me that, say, offline migrating a root disk wouldn't bring along the config 
and log files that also shared the same datastore with that root disk (perhaps 
it should, though).

Maybe one of our VMware gurus can explain what is the expected behavior here.
