Thnaks Steffen,

I am going to give that a try.

Also have anyone done HA on xen?

Correct. You will not be able to live-migrate such a domain.
That's why I wrote:

need to do that [use GNBD].

But I suggest having swap on lvm/sda anyway and if you NEED to migrate,
temporary move "swapon" another swap partition (on GNBD), and "swapoff" the
(lvm/sda). After migration "swap back".

Swap on network-backed devices is inherently slow and you should not use
that on systems that need to be performant.

Naha
