In sort, you can't currently live-migrate between cells.

So there is the current cells v1. When using cells v1 you will never
be able to move between cells. In addition, when using nova-network,
network assumptions generally mean IPs can't move between cells.

In cells v2, we were talking about ways that could happen. Its still
hard, because you would need to copy the instance record between one
cell database to another, with the API understanding how the move is
going. Complexity best avoided, if possible.

Afraid I don't have enough context from the rest of your email to
answer these questions.
