[one-users] perform "actions" on host just before Live Migration start??

[Jaime Melis]

Hello,

OpenNebula can't have control overt the internal live-migration process of
the hypervisors. The iscsi actions should be perfectly synchronized with
the live migration, otherwise an I/O error is likely to occur. That's the
reason why this isn't out of the box supported with OpenNebula.

I believe the correct way to approach this is through hypervisor hooks:
http://libvirt.org/hooks.html#qemu_migration

cheers,
Jaime
