[ovirt-users] Automatically migrate VM between hosts in the same cluster

GIven the outlay you will pay for your server kit regardless of using 
Ovirt or not, EUR 500 is nothing. As I said, what about ebay? I've just 
looked and there's a 24 outlet one for GBP 100, and an 8 port one for 
$44, both Buy It Now! And that's just a UK search.

Live migration works fine without power management. If a host gets too 
busy, VMs will migrate away from it.
