[Openstack-operators] Disabling VM Copy at Resizing

I found that we can do live migration (
http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/section_configuring-compute-migrations.html),
If there exists this tight relation between migration and resizing, if I
configure the system to do live migration, it will influence on how the
resizing is done? The resizing will get the benefits of live-migration?

Best Regards,
Mathias
