Slow down the server artificially in order to reduce transactional memory activity

[Rene Romero Benavides <rene.romero.b@xxxxxxxxx>]

Scenario:

A database server living in a virtual machine. (KVM-RHEV)

The virtual machine cannot be migrated live to another host due to intensive memory writing as depicted here

Problem:

The database cannot be live-migrated

Is there anything I can do to slow down memory writing at the database level in order to accomplish live migration?

Thank you for any ideas on this.
