If you're going to have a cluster of hosts between which you can move guests, you should really aim to store all your master configs elsewhere in shared storage, and either use transient guests (which have no config in /etc/libvirt), or persistent guests and only have configs in /etc/libvirt for the guests which happens to be running on that node
So transient doesn't store the configs in /etc/libvirt - where are they stored? and what happens if the guest is shutdown? If persistent guests only store the config on that node, what is the normal mode called? I can't find any documentation on this, can you point me somewhere on how I can use this and read up on it?
Using some kind of cluster management software is a good idea to safely deal with this
Would you mind elaborating on this? What would the cluster management software do here? JB
