hi Sahni,
thanks for the details.
Looks like the live storage migration might fail on the heavy loaded virtual machines. I just tried to move from nfs to iscsi storage(most of the cases they moved w/o error), the message on the move dialog warns us  "! moving following disks when VM is running", if we press "ok ! do it" what are the consequences? it is not explained in the docs. 
thank you beforehand
Arman.

Hi Arman,
VM's migration and disks migration are two different things:

- Live storage migration:
A VM's disk can be moved to another storage domain while the VM is running, by copying the disk's structure the destination domain.
The hard part of live storage migration is moving the active layer volumes from one domain to another, while the VM is writing to those volumes.
By using a replication operation, the data is written to both source and destination volumes.
When both volumes contain the same data, the block job operation can be aborted, pivoting to the new disk.


- Live migration:
Provides the ability to move a running virtual machine between physical hosts with no interruption to service.
The virtual machine remains powered on and user applications continue to run while the virtual machine is relocated to a new physical host.
A running virtual machine can be live migrated to any host within its designated host cluster.
Live migration of virtual machines does not cause any service interruption.


Hope it helps!

Regards,
Shani Leviim

hi,
I have some test enviroment with ovirt
"4.2.0-0.0.master.20171114071105.gitdfdc401.el7.centos"
2hosts+2NFS-domains

During the multiple disk movement between the domains I am getting this warning:
Moving disks while the VMs are running.(this is not so scary red as in
4.1.x :) )

What kind of problems can happen during the movement?

Thanks,
Arman.
