Here is some detail on some work regarding live migration -
http://superuser.openstack.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/ha-livemigrate-whitepaper.pdf

Some information on that report in terms of setting up live migration was
gleaned from -
https://www.mirantis.com/blog/tutorial-openstack-live-migration-with-kvm-hypervisor-and-nfs-shared-storage/
- in particular the libvirt configuration parts

Hope this helps.
