This cluster is still predeployment so some information isn't locked in place 
but currently:
We are using libvirt/kvm for the hypervisor.
The network is 2 primary VLANs on a 10GiB bond (one VLAN for provider, one for 
Management & Storage).
Network  load is currently very low, but I can expect it to be under reasonable 
load. I expect the majority of load to be from storage on the VMs and VOIP 
traffic.

The real intention of using live migration for us is only for compute node 
maintenance (without downtime), and not much else.

Subject: Re: [Openstack] nova live migration setup
Best practice is to use shared storage and then the "copy" is really only the 
active memory. A few changes came about in about the newton? timeframe that 
allows for some memory convergence.

Take a look at the nova release notes from that time forward and you should see 
reference to the change(s).

You likely won't get much more detail without providing a lot more detail about 
your environment (and maybe not even then.) This functionality is very 
dependent on your specific configuration regarding:
storage design
hypervisor choice
and is also very dependent upon
network load
network bandwidth
VM size
VM busy-ness
network design
nova structure (regions AZs, etc.)

I can't find any up to date official documentation on the topic, and only find 
documentation referring to the commands used. What is the best practice for 
setting up live migration for nova? I have used live migration over SSH in the 
past, but the documentation for how to do so is lost to me. Also there is live 
migration over TCP, is this preferable to ssh and how would you set it up. What 
are any general best practices for doing this, and what recommendations do you 
have?

Thanks,
