i want to load balance and auto-migrate vms depending on resources available on a proxmox ve 2.1 cluster of say 2 nodes. is that possible ? can proxmox cluster be treated the same as a "kvm cluster" and used with pacemaker/heartbeat .. i am new to such technologies any ideas are welcome. i tried ovirt adding a node in ovirt is a pain in the butt. i am creating a test lab . i have a two pve nodes using shared iscsi lun on a separate network and another network for vms (pve nodes have two interfaces for each and two bridges i am running nested kvm two pve nodes over kvm on centos 6)
any way to load balance (equivalent to vmware's DRS) with proxmox ?

I know that. I was just wondering if there was any way i cud modify my proxmox setup into drbd-pacemaker-heartbeat type without breaking the existing functionality ?
is there a workaround for that . like heartbeat /pacemaker solution for "clustering kvm" ? can i integrate pacemaker/heartbeat +drbd in existing proxmox ve cluster ?

We support corosync/cman/rgmanager by default, so there is no need for (heartbeat /pacemaker). Fail-over of resources works out of the box.
what you want is workload balancing,
I found an interesting paper here:

It's not trivial to implement, but it should be possible.
The main thing is to find what vm to migrate (algo ?), and where to migrate it.
