Hi Oved!

That's a perfect explanation. Do we have a release date for 4.1? I'm currently working with RHV in my production enviroment.

I may don't have the opportunity to wait for 4.1 to see the light as all my customers VMs (im a web hoster) run on a non HA cluster as my provider does not give me access to the IPMI. If anyone knows anyway to workaround this limitation please do let me know.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Sebastian

Currently in case a host is not responding, the only way to make sure no vms are running on it is to fence it, and we only support fencing through power management.

In 4.1 we plan to have limited options for storage fencing. This will mean that if a host is not responding then we try to run HA VMs on another host. If the host is still up then it will fail, as the non responsive host is the one holding the lock. If, however, the host is really dead, then the run VM should succeed.

So, a VM should be up and running, but it might run on a host that has connectivity issues.

Better than what you have now, but still partial. I guess this might get improved during 4.2.

Regards,
Oved

Hi,

Is there any way to have HA in a cluster which hosts have not got configured the "Power Management"?

In my scenario I have 2 hosts (v4) on OVH  and a hosted-engine to manage them. Thing is that OVH does not allow direct communication with the hosts IPMI interface. IPMI is only available in the "customer area" under a java applet as that interface is connected to a non accesible network. So, having no access to this interface I find myself in a situation in which I lost all my HA functionality :(

Any help would be more than welcome.

Sebas
