Thank you so much  to both of you John and Matej.
 
Yes,  both of your  solution,  worked when I am live migrating the guest  from one  dom0 to  another dom0.
 
What i am doing now, 
 
  -    In Host-B  , I am executing the command , 
   
                 ping  Guest-15a
 
   -   In the Host-A   ,  I am executing  the command
 
          xm  migrate --live  Guest-15a    Host-B
 
 The  result:
 
        Live  migration went  very  well,  found  there is  just  1 sec stop in between but I think that is  acceptable.
 
Our network team says  that portfast is already configured at switch .
 
But as  the first option  worked , so  I  hope  I can move on  - right?  If not please  advice....
 
My second question is,  mode=4  , ie  802.2ad ( link  aggregation ) did not work still yet. I wanted to
set  the mode=4 as it is much faster. Found one document  , here is the url
 
http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Cisco+Systems+IOS-based+switches-+interface+bonding+and+trunking
 
It is very good .  In this  document  , the first line it is mentioned   :
 
*****   It is important that the native VLANs be identical on both sides of the link
 
What does it mean  VLANs be identical on both sides of the link  ? Sorry for the silly question though.
 
 Would you please explain , do I need to check /configure anything  on the server side?     My configuration is  simple  enough , 
 
In my configuration I have used  eth0 and  eth1 bonded  to bond0, and  for each subnet,  created  the
 
config files,  as   ifcfg-bond0.15, ifcfg-bond0.16,  ifcfg-bond0.17.   Then in the /etc/xen/scripts  , I have created
 
a custom  file where I mentioned all the bridges  for  each  vlan tag.  And this custom file is being called
 
from    /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp...
 
 
Please  advice,  do you need to proceed with aggregation link or  with mode=1, which is now configured  and
you all helped me a work around...
 
Thanks again.

Hi ,

Can anyone please advice , where to check?  Do you think it is the switch configuration issues?

 

It's almost certainly a switch issue: the switch doesn't know that the MAC address for the recently migrated machine is on a different port.

There are two possibilities: you can either ping something (eg the default router) _from_ the guest after it has migrated or you can set portfast on the switch.  The former just informs the switch that the originating MAC address is now on a different port; the latter makes the switch less willing to hold on to the MAC address/port association for a long time and is something that the network people can do.  You might want to try doing both.
