[one-dev] Live migration / recovery

Ok, this almost seems too easy ... :) 

What I was trying to avoid was more tweaking of ON files when installing VDC. 

The issue I see is that each time someone upgraded ON, they will potentially have a chain of 
small patches to apply ... if I supply a few small patches based on "if <vdc installed> - do something extra" 
would you include these in the stock scripts??

Hi Gareth 

As the migrate script can be easily updated we do not provide any hook for that. I'd go to kvm/migrate, and do a simple if [ $? ... after the virsh command to kill the cache on the target host. 

Cheers

Hi, 

I implemented live migration for the VDC driver a few weeks back and on the whole it seems to work 
quite well. The "premigrate" script creates a cache instance on the target server and puts the source 
cache into proxy mode, then the "postmigrate" script kills the original cache instance. 

Problem :: if the migration fails, I'm left with a running cache on both the source and target servers, with 
the source cache in proxy mode. I have a 1-line CLI command to revert the issue, but I need to hook into 
the system in order to call it. 

How to do I do this, I guess effectively I need something like "postmigrate_fail" .. ???
