Re: Workshop Invite - please provide feedback
Hi Mike,
Most of what I¹ve done so far is find best practices (at least in regards to
Red Hat¹s implementation) for KVM and RHEV + NetApp storage. This includes
backup, DR, and site failover. Going forward, there are plans to do much
deeper integration in order to allow KVM & RHEV (and oVirt!!!) to take
advantage of things like copy offload and cloning from the backend, as well
as provisioning. I¹m working with the good folks over in Tel Aviv for this.
Additionally, I¹m working on the host side of cloning that is, what is the
best way to prep a RHEL host (or hypervisor or VM..) prior to cloning.
There are many artifacts (WWIDs, LUN IDs, SSH host keys, bits in
initrd/initramfs etc) that you don¹t want copied between clones. So I¹m
working on a sysprep¹ like tool & workflow to address this. I¹m 99% done
with the RHEL 6.x version, but I¹m still testing on RHEL 5.6+. I¹ll be sure
to release it to this group for feedback. From there, I¹ll see about adding
in support for SuSe.
Hope this answers your question,
Jb
PS. - it looks like you¹re in NC as well. I¹m in RTP, on Kit Creek.. If
you¹re nearby, lets grab lunch sometime.

Do you develop a product or technology that can manage or extend KVM?
Looks good!
