> -    Changes required in UI for live migrating a volume from one storage pool to another.
>  1.       UI needs to be updated to allow migration of a volume even if it is attached to a running vm.
>  2.      UI will be updated to make a listStoragePoolsForMigration call for volumes; root or datadisk; to get the list of storage pools available.
>  3.       For live migrating a volume, migrateVolume call will be made with volumeid, storageid passed as a parameter. The livemigrate parameter should also be set to true.
>  -   Changes required in UI for live migrating an instance along with its volume.
>  1.       Currently UI makes a listHosts api call with virtualmachineid as a parameter to get the list of hosts to which a vm can be migrated.
>   2.      UI will be instead updated to make a listHostsForMigration call.
>   3.      If migration of an instance to a host requires storage motion; as indicated in the response object by the requiresStorageMotion field; UI will make a migrateVirtualMachineWithVolume api call. The virtual machine id and host id are passed as the parameters.
> Challenges I see here are : 
> 1. This is a hypervisor specific feature: XenServer6.1, Hence, we need to be carefule while dealing with VMs on other hypervisors
> feature tracking bug for Storage XenMotion: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-659
> It is yet to be checked in.
