Description

Dear CS Contributors

xenserver support online resize with this xapi call:
xe vdi-resize uuid=<VDI UUID> online=true disk-size=<NEW SIZE>

cf. http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/293389-resize-a-xenserver-windows-vm-virtual-disk-without-shutdown/

Cloudstack should use this instead of showing the error:
"The VM must be stopped or the disk detached in order to resize with the XenServer Hypervisor.";

cf. https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/master/server/src/com/cloud/storage/VolumeApiServiceImpl.java#L1119
