Hi Devdeep,

This is regarding XenMotion, I have noticed few known issues specified in the 
given link such as :

1. When migrating VMs using Storage XenMotion, attempts to cancel the operation 
may not delete the temporary virtual disks. [CA-87710] [CA-87689]
2. When a VM is unexpectedly shut down during a Storage XenMotion migration, 
the migration may fail. This process may leave a shut down incomplete copy of 
the VM on the destination pool. Customers should delete the VM from the 
destination pool and re try the operation with the VM running. [CA-86347

So will you be handling these operations which are expected to fail from 
Xenserver ?

Thanks and Regards,
Sailaja.M

Subject: Adding support for XenServer 6.1 and Storage XenMotion

Hi,

With XenServer 6.1, support for storage xenmotion has been added in XenServer. 
I am planning to work on enabling support for XenServer 6.1 and storage 
xenmotion in CloudStack. It'll involve the following activities:

1. Enable support in CloudStack for XenServer 6.1. There is already a bug filed 
for it, see [1]. 
2. Update the java bindings that are used by CloudStack for making xapi calls. 
The current bindings are present under deps/XenServerJava in source tree. They 
need to be updated for getting the new apis that have been added for supporting 
storage xenmotion. CloudStack has made customizations to these bindings to 
address certain issues. They'll also be ported.
3. Enable support for storage xenmotion from CloudStack, see [2]. I'll share a 
FS for this in the next few days.

Do let me know your thoughts/concerns.
