Hello. I have just set up a test cluster environment based on RHEL5.1 advanced platform + latest updates with two nodes + shared storage. What I want to test is cluster services for virtual maschines because we need live migration with xen. The cluster itself is OK. I also have access to shared storage from both nodes. On each node I have a mountpoint /var/xen where the configurations for the virtual maschines are located: /dev/mapper/san01VG-xenconfiglv on /var/xen type gfs (rw,hostdata=jid=0:id=196610:first=0) As disk for the VM I have a lv based on clvm: disk = [ "phy:/dev/san01VG/vux002-01-lv,xvda,w" ] I have configured the virtual service with lucie and I am able to start the virtual maschine manually using xm create vux002. I also can do a live migration from node1 to node2 and back manually or with luci. But I cannot start or enable the virtual maschine with luci. When I try to do this I get every time a generic error: Feb 23 11:31:11 ux071 clurgmgrd[28779]: <notice> Recovering failed service vm:vux002 Feb 23 11:31:11 ux071 clurgmgrd[28779]: <notice> start on vm "vux002" returned 1 (generic error) Feb 23 11:31:11 ux071 clurgmgrd[28779]: <warning> #68: Failed to start vm:vux002; return value: 1 Feb 23 11:31:11 ux071 clurgmgrd[28779]: <notice> Stopping service vm:vux002 Feb 23 11:31:17 ux071 clurgmgrd[28779]: <notice> Service vm:vux002 is recovering Feb 23 11:31:22 ux071 openais[28485]: [TOTEM] Retransmit List: 1be Is it possible that virtual service can only start a virtual maschine when the disk is in a image file (by the way this would be the same behavior as with the satellite)? If it's so it would be very bad. Using image files for the virtual maschines have extreme impact on performance and stability of the virtual maschine. Is there a workaround of a fix available?
