Thanks for reference, I'll take this into account. Right now I'm still 
in proof-of-concept stage.

That's what I thought vdi-pool-migration was for, judging by it's name!
(migrate vdi between pools)

But no, vdi-pool-migration does not migrates the VM within the same pool:

[root@xcp48 ~]# xe vdi-pool-migrate \
  uuid=e2021c93-95f4-47d7-9018-b2221d9de51b \
  sr-uuid=590510e6-074e-47a2-bc76-04e4fb83148f
The server failed to handle your request, due to an internal error.  The

message: 
Storage_interface.Internal_error("Storage_interface.Sr_not_attached(\"590510e6-074e-47a2-bc76-04e4fb83148f\")")
e2021c93-95f4-47d7-9018-b2221d9de51b is the uuid of the VDI, attached to 
the VM I'm trying to migrate from one host to another within the same pool.
590510e6-074e-47a2-bc76-04e4fb83148f is the Local Storage of the 
destination host.
I guess this should work to migrate the VDI between storages, while the 
host system has access to both SRs. Seems like a indirect way to do the 
move machines from one local storage to another:
1. Move storage from local storage to a shared one.
2. Move the VM from one host to another, while the storage is shared
3. Move the storage from shared to local on the destination host.

(would be great if someone can confirm)
