If i start a ping manually from the DomU console, then its reachable

Stack knows that there is now a DomU running :)
By "reachable" i mean icmp pings to that IP Address.
 
 
 More likely it's a MAC table caching issue. Each switch (and that 
includes the virtual switch (bridge) in your Dom0) caches the MAC-port 
mappings required to forward packets. When you move a device, then the 
table need to update.
 Generating traffic from the DomU will generally cause the switches to 
update their tables - though some seem to take longer than others, 
I've seen HP switches take 5 minutes to expire the old mappings.
 
why are you using two switches?should not one switch suffice for two nodes?
 i guess if you use one switch instead of two then the information about 
migrated vm will propagate to switches quickly
