Description
XenCenter seems to be missing the option to be able to select which network you wish to use for live migrations of VMs.
You can select the storage network - but not the general transfer network for memory / cpu handover.
This means that you are always limited to the speed of your management network, which is generally a lot slower than your data network.
For example:
Migrating a VM with 10GB of RAM, 8 vCPUs and 60GB disk takes more than 5x longer to migrate over 1Gbit than over the 20Gbit bond.
This not only slows down day-to-day migrations, but in the event that there is an emergency and VMs need to be shifted quickly between hosts this causes a real problem.
