Currently we run without ML2 but since we run Icehouse we should be able (and 
have) to migrate to ML2.
I am testing in our dev environment with ML2 enabled.

VLAN

Good question :) I will have a look.

I'd rather do some magic on a running or stopped machine then migrating all our 
instances:

We do not have shared storage and machines are paused during the whole 
migration process. 
This can take quite some time :( we run qemu from the redhat 6 stack and that 
does not do the smart snapshotting)
Another issue would be that live migration without shared storage requires you 
to have the original base image / snapshot available.
Especially for machines started from snapshots this is going to be an issue.
So even if this works we probably still have other issues getting there..

Did that in our dev environment, also noticed that was not productive ;)

Yes noticed that :(

Thx,
