Re: [libvirt] libvirt-guests - migrate/relocate on stop feature request
Hi,
I'm using KVM in a clustered environment. When a host server
shuts down or
reboots the VM's should migrate to another cluster node. Currently I'm using
a custom script for a two node cluster. It would be very nice if this
feature could be incorporated into the libvirt-guests script. Or if a host
could be specified as a relocation host.
In general, this should better be managed by a higher-level management
application that manages the whole cluster and migrate VMs to different hosts
when their original host is about to shutdown. But I agree that for simple
cases (such as yours two node cluster) this would be a pretty heavy weight
solution. Thus I think having this feature in libvirt-guests makes sense.
Is there any chance for this feature to be added to the script?
I guess there is, especially after you sent the modified script :-) However,
could you send your modifications as a patch? Ideally using git but if that's
too much for you, even the output of
diff -u unmodified-libvirt-guests modified-libvirt-guests
would work much better than just the modified script.
