Your problem is probably that live migration requires Xen to create a
shadow copy of the active RAM of your DomU, so you effectively need to
have RAM(DomU) free on the source and 2*RAM(DomU) on the target Dom0.

It shouldn't be 2*RAM. From what I have read, the amount of memory needed equals the amount of memory allotted to the guest on the source host plus an additional 8MB of temporary storage .

I don't yet have a guess as to why it is actually failing though.

Cheers,
Pi
