Guest Agent and High Availability (HA)

Open cairoapcampos opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I want to migrate a Xenserver server environment to KVM with WebVirtCloud. However, I have some doubts about the best way to use this environment. They are:

1- Does Guest Agent have the same system optimization functions as "Xen-Tools" and "VMware Tools" ? 2- With WebVirtCloud is it possible to manage HA in KVM?

I wanted when a server failed that VMs stored on external storage would run on another server.

  1. what is the optimization functions on xen-tools and vmtools: qemu-guest-agent has some capabilities: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en_us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/virtualization_deployment_and_administration_guide/chap-qemu_guest_agent as stated.

  2. webvitcloud only manages kvm virtual machines. it does not manage ha. if you need ha for hosts and vms you should consider proxmox.
