Thread-topic: [Xen-API] XCP do NOT support migrating HVM?
Hi,

Currently xapi insists that you install the Windows PV drivers first-- they're 
on the 'xs-tools.iso' in the XCP dom0. This may not be strictly necessary for 
migration to work but all our testing assumes the drivers are loaded.

Also a tip: use 'xe vm-migrate --live' to make sure you get live migration 
(minimizing downtime). We probably should make that the default in future.

Cheers,
Dave
