to migrate VMs, the storage has to be accessible from both machines
with the same reference.  when using image files, that means a shared
filesystem (NFS, GFS, OCFS, etc.), when using LVs, that means the VG
must be accessible from both hosts, usually with a SAN or SAN-like
setup (FC, iSCSI, drbd, AoE, (g)nbd, etc)
