"vmotion" is called "live migration" in Xen. This works for Xen-native guests
(paravirtualised) but there's work underway to support this in HVM (fully
virtualised) guests too. xen-unstable may already contain this support in
which case it would be in the 3.0.5 release.
> Is there anything similar for Xen?
The open source Xen doesn't have the resource scheduler, but there are loads
of management tools now available (in various states of development) to make
organising VMs easier.
I'm not sure if the commercial XenSource product (or any of the open source
products, such as Enomalism) supports automatic migration yet.
Hope that helps some,
Cheers,
Mark
