Create a file based disk image stored on an NFS partition shared between
your two Dom0s. File based images on NFS are certainly slow, but its the
minimal effort required to demo migration. For more serious production
use you'd want either a cluster filesystem like GFS, or a network block
device like iSCSI, or shared SAN with cluster LVM.
