The only thing I have is some syslog output of the domU, but there's not more 
than this usual lines:
...
Dec  6 15:47:16 debian1 kernel: Xen reported: 2806.425 MHz processor.
Dec  6 15:51:12 debian1 kernel: Xen reported: 2806.429 MHz processor.
Dec  6 15:54:54 debian1 kernel: Xen reported: 2806.425 MHz processor.
...

and the log file of my i/o testing script, but these are only md5 checksums. 
The script writes several times a dummy text into a file on the hd and 
finally builds a md5 checksum of the file for integrity test.
That logfile is fine, it's always the same md5.

Is there a possibility to further investigate what is happening with domU?

The funny thing is, yesterday afternoon I started a new testrun, this time 
using a ramdisk as storage for the i/o test. That domU is still running 
(after approx. 350 migrations). 
So it seems to me as if there is a problem with storage during migration, 
which sometimes occurs earlier, sometimes later.

The fibre channel adapters and the san is tested and works 100% correctly, so 
this shouldn't be the reason.

Michael
