Does somebody has any hints about realising this scenario with libvirt
and KVM?


Thank you for your answer.


Basically the idea is like this. You have your hosts on one ethernet segment. You create bridge on each hosts and put hosts physical adapter into it (lets call the bridges BrA and BrB). The bridge behaves like a virtual ethernet switch. You should configure IP on the bridge not on the physical interface itself. And now if you add any other adapter into the bridge, it will act as if it is directly on the ethernet. This has been used for bridging two or more ethernet segments into one for a long time.

This was not the problem and runs fine.


If you setup your VMs correctly (see the wiki page for details), libivirt will create hosts virtual adapter and add it to the bridge. For example for VM1 running on A it will create i.e. vnet1 and add it to the bridge BrA. The virtualized interface in the VM1 will have direct access to the ethernet segment. It can have IP address from the same range as the hosts, etc...

This was not the problem too and runs fine too.

My problem is:
1.) VM1 running on host A must have network access to VM3 when VM3 is running on host B by default _and_
2.) when VM3 is running on host A because host B failed.

In some of my configurations 1.) worked but 2.) not, in some other configurations 2.) worked but 1.) not.

I must have missed some detail ...
