Good point :D i'll think about this, playing arround with xen 4 at the moment tho for the sync of vm function.. maby that's a better solution for my problem :)

If you know DRBD, why not to use it on Dom0 ? Xen can directly use "drbd" devices.

hehe it's not that i don't like it, the hole setup makes sense but i'm just thinking about how to implement this in my situation :-), so basicly let's say i have 4 servers (physicial) i could take 2 for running the vm's, and 2 for actualy holding the vm's and replicate those last 2 servers with drbd or something like that..

   Yes the VMs will be stored on the NFS sr, and yes that's a SPOF.
   if you don't like that, replicate the storage box

       Ok that makes sense, so i would have to have an extra server
       configured with NFS that he uses to migrate, or are the actual

       mean that you will have a single point of failure, the NFS
       server?

               I'm pretty succesfull in deploying the xen cloud, but
               i only got 1 big issue at this moment, when i
               installed the host software, i just installed all the
               basic stuff, and now i would like to share the storage
               of node 1 with node 2, and vica versa so i can migrate
               (live?) vm's from 1 to 2 and back, i created a
               storrage pool and this seemed to work.. but while
               trying to migrate i got an error that there was no
               shared sr..

               is there a way to share the default hd's of the 2 hosts?

               Thanks,
               Peter
