[one-users] Update hostname after a migration

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. The second solution sounds good, will try this.

The first one is not possible. This sytem also handle failover and have to react to a failure within a few seconds. For example, if a node crashes, lost vm are immediately respawned on a healthy node. This is why it's running as closer as possible from the hypervisor and can't rely on any external component.


This drivers and the complete cluster stack will be released soon.

Regards,
Nicolas AGIUS

Hi,
OpenNebula has the objects cached in memory, so you cannot simply inject new data into the DB. Besides, the (live)migration operation is not only a change in the VM hostname, it involves history records, accounting, and Host capacity.


The ideal solution would be to make that load balancer ask opennebula to do the migration.
If that's not possible, you could perform a dummy migration, with the following flow:

- The load balancer migrates a VM- You somehow detect this migration, and execute a 'onevm livemigrate vm_id target_host'- OpenNebula will try to migrate the VM, calling the driver script /var/lib/one/remotes/vmm/<vmm_driver>/migrate


This migrate script must be able to detect if the migration was already performed by the load balancer, maybe looking for a VM with the same name in the target host, and return success directly.



Do you have any plans to release these new drivers?
Best regards

Hi,

I'm currently writing a new VMM to use openNebula with a clustered xen manager responsible of failover and loadbalancing.



This system, put between xen and opennebula will automatically move vm by its own.

Is there any way to inform oned that the vm has been migrated ?

I tried to inject this information in the database, but it did'nt work, the update is'nt taked in account. And there is nothing about a such things in the API.




Thanks,
Nicolas AGIUS
