[one-users] Does Opennebula 2.0.1 support disaster recovery?

[YE LEI]

Hi Tino,

Thank you for the quick feedback, I am glad to see you can help us setup this use case.

We will start the opennebula trial soon, if any issues encountered, I will turn to you ;-)

Best Regards, 

YE Lei

Hi YE Lei,

 

The first issue that I see here is the migration, since it is

impossible to migrate a VM from a host that is down.

 

What is possible is the reestablishment of the service in placeB,

where the VM images should be previously placed (to avoid transferring

them, although this is possible as well), so only the VM state (in the

form of snapshots of memory, and deltas of what has changed in the

disk images since the VM was up) needs to be transferred. This

snapshots should reside in a shared filesystem (to avoid losing access

when the host is down), or synced in placeB using DRDB for instance.

OpenNebula at place A can detect that the hosts are down and start the

reestablishment of the service talking with the OpenNebula at place B.

This setup can be achieved with some minor adjustments to the

out-of-the-box OpenNebula.

 

For extra protection, the OpenNebula at placeA could be running two

instances in different servers, to avoid the fail in the disaster

recovery in case the OpenNebula front-end goes down.

 

This is an interesting use case, we will be happy to provide

assistance in the setup of this scenario.

 

Best regards,

 

-Tino
