Hi,
> The result turns out fine finally and the volume is successfully > migrated via the swap_volume method in Nova. The swap_volume uses libvirt's live storage migration feature called blockcopy. If you use this way, you don’t need to detach a volume before volume migration. http://kashyapc.com/2014/07/06/live-disk-migration-with-libvirt-blockcopy/ Before applying this way to your system, it is recommended to test very well as many people said at the summit, because this scenario is not included tempest test case.

The result turns out fine finally and the volume is successfully migrated via the swap_volume method in Nova. I just send you this mail as a confirmation that swap_volume works for your use case.
