The migration will fail. The only option I will have is to shutdown the vm and move the conf file. Back to the no down time requirement, this is less than ideal.

If I understand you correctly you have
new node1
old node2

And migration from node2 -> node1 does not work?
That should not be, if you run into this can you post the error from the 
migrate command?

We normally try to guarantee that old -> new works, the other way around 
cannot be always guaranteed.

I tested this also now and it worked. I down graded a test node of mine, 
started a VM there and live migrated it successfully to a upgraded VM.

If you have not configured it it will not be used.
Migrate a unimportant test VM first to see if it works.

cheers,
Thomas
