Configuration
The inventory may define these hosts:
observers
: Set of hosts to observe the cluster (only the first is considering)
Node redundancy
All nodes in the cluster have an access to a shared storage via ceph (see Shared storage section). With it, the cluster is in N to N redundancy mode.
- Corosync will provides messaging and membership services.
- Pacemaker will manage the cluster (synchronize resources between each node).
More details on pacemaker here and corosync here.
Management tool
The vm_manager project is an high-level interface of pacemaker and ceph to manage the VM like a resource. He is installed during the installation step and provides the vm-mgr
command.
Sub-command
All sub-commands has -n
, --name
required option to specify which resource should be used.

Manage VM
Add VM in the cluster:
vm-mgr create --name NAME --xml /path/to/configuration.xml --image /path/to/disk.qcow2 --disable --force --enable-live-migration --migration-user virtu --migrate-to-timeout 180
Check the execution of the resource:
crm status
Get the status of the resource:
vm-mgr status --name NAME
Delete VM in the cluster:
vm-mgr remove --name NAME
