I'm trying to find out. I can't seem to find a defenitive yes / no answers so I thought I'd ask the ServerFault community this simple question:

Does XenServer (in any version) support Storage migration such as VMWare's Storage VMotion capability, or Hyper-V's storage migration ?

I'm trying to do a comparative study of all platforms but I can't find a website (preff. Citrix supported or any other "legit" source) where it say's a defenitive yes or no.

Anyone able to answer this one for me ?

Cheers !

The short answer is no.

There's a bit of a comparison between XenServer and VMware here. Pretty much the same doc here, but with a pretty table, and ticks in boxes.

Yes.. If you guest machine is on storage that each of the xen servers attaches to you can migrate it live

They're asking about migrating between different storage repositories, not migrating a VM between hosts. – LukeR Jun 3 '10 at 9:56
