Live migration of VM using librbd and OpenStack

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey folks,

I'm wondering if the following is possible.  I have OpenStack (Folsom) configured to boot VMs from volume using Ceph as a backend for Cinder and Glance.  My setup pretty much follows the Ceph guides for this verbatim.  I've been using this setup for a while now, and it's all been really smooth.

However, I if I try do a live-migration, I get this:

RemoteError: Remote error: RemoteError Remote error: InvalidSharedStorage_Remote vmhost3 is not on shared storage: Live migration can not be used without shared storage.

One thing I am doing that may not be normal is that I am trying to do the "true" live migration in KVM/libvirt, having set this in my nova.conf:

live_migration_flag=VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE,VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER,VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE

Anyone know if this setup should work?  Or if there is something I should tweak to make it work?  I was thinking that having the RBD available via librbd at both the source and destination host makes that storage shared storage.  Perhaps not if I am trying to do live migration?  If I do OpenStack's normal "live" migration, it will pause the VM and move it, which is less than ideal, but workable.

Thanks,

 - Travis
