Hello,
we have a setup of two machines building a GlusterFS cluster. We run qemu/kvm for virtual machines. The image-files are in a GlusterFS volume. So far we have been successfully using the fuse-client to access the images and also successfully live-migrated virtual machines from one host to another.Live-migration itself is no problem at all, the problem is that we have to define a specific host for gfapi to access the data on the volume as opposed to using the fuse-client where that was not needed. Suppose we have a virtual machine on machine A with machine A defined as its host for the gfapi storage backend. When we migrate a virtual machine from machine A to machine B, it will still use machine A (since it is defined that way in the configuration) to access its virtual harddrive and therefore we cannot remove machine A from the cluster without breaking the virtual machine.
We have tried defining a special hostname (other than localhost) that resolves to the machine the virtual machine is running on, but that did not work.
Ideally we should be able to migrate virtual machines from machine A to machine B and be able to shutdown machine A without impacting the virtual machine in any way.
Is there a solution or an acceptable workaround for this problem?
Thanks,
Stephan
