Re: Live migration using shared storage in different networks

A couple of comments.

Take a look at http://whiteboxswitch.com/ or do a general search for white box switches.


Migration will work so long as the storage is consistent between the two KVM hosts.
If there is buffering or caching going on you could have problems.
Something like GFS or NFS will work.
I have used DRBD to setup a simple 2 node system and migration works quite nicely.

Take a look at ProxMox or some of the postings on alteeve.ca.
A good place to start would be

Hi!

I am building a KVM cluster that needs VM live migration.

My shared storage as well as the KVM hosts will be running
CentOS.

Because 10 Gbps Ethernet switches are very expensive at the
moment I will connect the KVM hosts to the storage by
cross-over cables and create private networks for each
connection (10.0.0.0/30 and 10.0.0.4/30).

The following diagram shows the topology

  Management             Management            Management
     VLAN                   VLAN                  VLAN
      |                      |                     |
+----+-----+  10 Gbps  +----+----+  10 Gbps  +----+-----+
| KVM Host |-----------| Storage |-----------| KVM Host |
+----+-----+           +----+----+           +----+-----+
      |                      |                     |
    Public                 Public                Public
     VLAN                   VLAN                  VLAN

My question is: will live migration work in this configuration
since the storage will have 2 different IP addresses
(10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.5) in 2 different networks even though
it is the same storage?

Thanks!
