  • RHEL HA VM cluster v2v to RHEV

    Posted on

    Hi

     

    We have numerous RHEL5 HA VM clusters which are home to several hundred RHEL5 VM's.  The VM's use raw CLVM devices for storage.

     

    VM configuration files (guest.xml) are held in a GFS clustered filesysems shared by the cluster nodes, as per RH recommendations.

     

    I've created RHEL6 VM to be used as a virt-v2v stage which can communicate freely with both the RHEV Export storage domains and the RHEL HA VM clusters.

     

    I would like to use the virt-v2v tool to migrate the VM's from the RHEL5 HA VM cluster to a nice new RHEV environment.

     

    The V2V Guide appears to cover migrations from a standalone KVM server but not a clustered KVM server environment and I'm hitting numerous problems and issues when trying.

     

    Before I spend anymore time doing so, are you able to tell me if virt-v2v supports this type of migration ?

    (I do hope so!)

     

    Cheers
