Hi Devdeep,
Does this also cover the following use case ?
VM1 => ROOT (Storage Repository 1)
=> DATA-1 (Storage Repository 2)
Can I migrate DATA-1 vdi alone to a different repository? Or Is this feature
allowing the whole VM (including ROOT and DATA-1) to same destination
repository?
Thanks,
SWAMY

Hi Devdeep,
Should this discussion be expanded to cover VMware storage migration or a
different discussion - I wish to see how we can add vSphere as a supported
platform for this feature..

I have created an initial draft of the FS here
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Enabling+Storage+XenMotion+for+XenServer.
I'll keep updating it based on discussion and comments.

Devdeep
