As part of the multiple storage domains feature there will be new
functionality added to allow users to move individual disks.

What are the prerequisites for moving a disk?

1) the disk must exist
2) the associated VM must be down
this can't just be a CanDoAction check - the lock has to be real to
prevent a race from starting the VM after the validation.

Either down or disk is unplugged.

3) the associated VM must not be locked
4) the source storage domain must exist
5) the source storage domain must be available
6) the target domain must exist
7) the target domain must be available
8) the target domain must have adequate disk space
9) the target domain cannot be an ISO or export domain
10) the source domain cannot be an ISO or export domain
This may be unrelated, but user would be allowed to export and import a 
floating disk, right?
I would like the ability to import *any* disk in the export domain as a 
floating disk, but in the least, export and import disks not associated with a 
VM.
This was not in scope for the work I am currently doing. If this is something desirable I think it needs to be prioritized and worked in at a later time. If it does need to happen now then we are going to need to be able to do full crud for a floating disk I would think.

user must provide same/other quota for the target domain which has
enough quota left for the requested size.

What am I missing?

Also, should we allow the moving of a template disk that has VM
disks based on it? Unless I'm wrong this would require all of the
disks based on the template to be moved as well.
I'd say no. you can only move a template disk if it is not used.
I'd go further and say one should copy the template disk and delete,
rather than support move for it at all (not relevant for VM disk,
since
we don't have the same concept of multiple copies for it).
As long as you can delete a copy of the disk from a domain where there are no 
VM disks derived from it.

thoughts?
