Re: [Xen-users] Updating DomUs kernels

Tnx for the info.
It seems that i don't yet know enough about this, so i'll get back to you later on. :-) I'll try dual primary mode with phy and HVMs. :-)

Regards,
M.

Saids who?

If it did i could have live
failover/migration for HVM's too. That would be so cool. :-)

AFAIK the only noticable difference between drbd:/ and phy: is the
state of drbd device. On normal circumstances, with drbd:/ one would
be primary, the other secondary. This is good because it prevents domU
from starting at both dom0 at the same time (which might lead to
corruption). However for live migration to work you still need to
setup drbd for dual primary mode.

With phy:/, both nodes will see the drbd block as primary. You may
also need to setup drbd so that it becomes primary on both nodes on
startup. Live migration works great. However you need to take extra
precaution measures to make sure that at any one time only one dom0 is
running a particular domU.
