When we support migration the storage API should let us do sanity
checking prior to migration. The metadata provided for a poool and
a volume should allow an algorithm sort of like this
For each disk assigned to the guest
- Lookup volume associated with the path on the source host
- Lookup volume associated with the path on the dest host
- If the dest volume is missing, refuse to migrate
- If the dest volume has as different UUID refuse to migrate
(Sync UUID to SCSI worldwide name perhaps ?)
- Lookup pool associated with the volume on source host
- Lookup pool associated with the volume on dest host
- If the pool is different, then refuse to migrate (catches
case of a different NFS mount being used, or it being a
local internal storage pool, for example)
