KVM : Storage Migration2020/08/05 |
|
This is the example to use Storage Migration feature for Virtual Machines.
The different point of Storage Migration from Common
Live Migration is that
Storage Migration does not need a Storage server that has Virtual Machine images,
when executing Storage Migration, Virtual Machine image on a KVM host is migrated on another KVM host like follows.
Storage Migration
<------------------->
+----------------------+ +----------------------+
| [ KVM Host #1 ] |10.0.0.21 10.0.0.22| [ KVM Host #2 ] |
| +---------------------+ |
| kvm01.srv.world | | kvm02.srv.world |
+----------------------+ +----------------------+
|
| [1] |
Configure 2 KVM Host Server and Create a Virtual Machine on a KVM Host.
Configure DNS or hosts to resolve names or IP addresses normally, first. |
| [2] | Show the file size of a Virtual Machine image like follows on a KVM host and next, move to another KVM host to create an empty disk like follows. |
|
# show the size of Virtual machine root@kvm01:~# ll /var/kvm/images total 5201608 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 16 20:48 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 16 20:21 ../ -rw------- 1 root root 32217432064 May 17 20:12 ubuntu2004.img ### on another KVM host ### # create a disk which is the same size of a Virtual Machine root@kvm02:~# qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/kvm/images/ubuntu2004.img 32217432064 root@kvm02:~# ll /var/kvm/images total 204 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 19 20:43 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 19 19:18 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 197096 May 19 20:43 ubuntu2004.img |
| [3] | That's OK, Run Storage Migration like follows. |
|
root@kvm01:~# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 1 ubuntu2004 running
root@kvm01:~#
root@kvm01:~# virsh migrate --live --copy-storage-all ubuntu2004 qemu+ssh://10.0.0.22/system virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------- # just migrated
### on another KVM host ### root@kvm02:~# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 2 ubuntu2004 running |
