Hi,
Let me start by saying I have read through this thread which gives some very useful information, but I am still left with some unanswered questions which I hope you can help with.
I have 3 physical machines at the moment, 2 running proxmox 2.2 and one machine running freenas.
I setup the first proxmox host, configured an iscsi target (freenas) and created LVM based on the iscsi target.
I then added created a cluster on the first host and added the second host to this cluster.
This immediately brought the iscsi target and LVM target to the second host also.
I was able to choose migrate on one of the VM's running on node 1, migrate it to node 2 and it was practically instant - due to the storage of the VM on the freenas device.
My outstanding questions are these...
1. I read in the above mentioned thread about problems with 2 nodes connecting to one iscsi/lvm target. Have I done something wrong therefore in what I just did ?
2. I understand the ability to migrate a VM. What happens if I lose node 1, which was running VM1 for example. Can I now bring that online on node2 because it is stored on the network storage?
Thanks,
Leon
