Hi, Mike, Rafael:

Thanks for the clarification of what "managed storage" is and working on fixing 
the broken bits.

    Another comment here: The part that is broken is if you try to let 
CloudStack pick the primary storage on the destination side. That code no 
longer exists in 4.11.1.

        To follow up on this a bit: Yes, you should be able to migrate a VM and 
its storage from one cluster to another today using non-managed (traditional) 
primary storage with XenServer (both the source and destination primary 
storages would be cluster scoped). However, that is one of the features that 
was broken in 4.11.1 that we are discussing in this thread.

            For a bit of info on what managed storage is, please take a look at 
this document:

            The short answer is that you can have zone-wide managed storage 
(for XenServer, VMware, and KVM). However, there is no current zone-wide 
non-managed storage for XenServer.

                I assume by "managed storage", you guys mean primary storages, 
either zone -wide or cluster-wide.
                
                For Xen hypervisor, ACS does not support "zone-wide" primary 
storage yet. Still, I can live migrate a VM with data disks between clusters 
with storage migration from web GUI, today.  So, your statement below does not 
reflect current behavior of the code.
                
                    
                           - If I want to migrate a VM across clusters, but if 
at least one of its
                           volumes is placed in a cluster-wide managed storage, 
the migration is not
                           allowed. Is that it?
