Live Migration without Shared Storage but manual Sync

[ngurjar]

Hi,
In OpenNebula, I had setup Live Migration without Shared Storage.
For this I setup 2 nodes and sync VM images using rsync --inplace --partial option. image location should be same on both servers and I could migrate VMs in live state.
I tried same in Proxmox but it did not work. It showed error that disk is local.

Any solution for this?

Hi,
this is not possible with Proxmox.
The point is the the cluster have no information of you rync state, therefore it cant migrate.

The only think what you can do is migrate it manually!

Thanks Wolfgang.
It would be better if Proxmox has something like this type of functionality.
This process will save cost and will provide migration as well. Yes costumer can loose dat a of last 5 mins but then SMB costumers will be ok with it.

That is why we introduced ZFS in V3.4.
there it is possible to have something like that but not automatically.
But this is no Livemig.

Livemig would be without data lose.
