For live-migration: Is the VM quite busy ?

During live-migrate the RAM is synch'ed over to the new node,
until nothing changes anymore. So if 1) your network is slow-ish
(say, 100Mbit) and/or 2) you have one or many processes running 
within the VM which alter RAM, then the sync'ing can't keep up 
with the changes, hence the migration never finished.

=> ssh into the VM, "kill -STOP pids" the most active processes.
You might observe that your cursor freezes for a second, 
then that was the migration (optionally: verify RUNNING),
and "kill -CONT pids". 

Of course, it could also be something else

Yours,
Steffen
