Hi all , I would like to know about the possibility of setup Disaster Recovery Site (DR) for an Ovirt cluster . i.e if site 1 goes down I need to trigger the site 2 to come in to action with the minimal down time . I am open to use NFS shared storage or local storage for data storage domain . I know we need to replicate the storage domain and Ovirt confs and DB across the sites , but couldn't find any doc for the same , isn't that possible with Ovirt ? *Hans Emmanuel* *NOthing to FEAR but something to FEEL......*

Depending on the bandwidth/latency between the locations you could go for replicated GlusterFS strorage and make sure that data is replicated accross both sites. There is a self-hosted engine feature coming up, I don't know how that will fit into replication.

No experience there but I can make some suggestions. The upcoming self-hosted engine feature I mentioned before should have built-in HA for these kind of situations. http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine Another option: AFAIK oVirt engine configuration is all in the database, configure it with an external DB and use postgres replication to have a warm standby DB on your secondary location, combine this with some kind of (rsync?) replication of OS/configuration.
