LGM
Live Guest Migration.
Observation: Block migration is not officially supported on KVM for z Systems 1.1.1.5, but it does work…, watch out for future releases.
Objectives:
- Load Balance between KVM Hosts
- KVM Host Maintenance
Boundary conditions:
- The disk containing the guest's file system must be accessible on both Logical Partitions
- Both KVM hosts must have the network devices to allow the guest to communicate
Exceptions:
Possible Cenarios:
LPARs on the same CEC
- LPARs on different CECs
- ECKD not shared
- SCSI with or without NPIV
- MacVTAP
- Open vSwitch
Total of combinations: ;-)
