[Xen-users] Safe iSCSI & Live Migrations
I'm currently playing with iSCSI and Xen (exporting individual DomU
block devices as individual iSCSI disks) and wanted to find a safe way
to use iSCSI. i.e. I want to prevent the accidental mounting of an iSCSI
disk from two or more machines. Using IET as an iSCSI target I can set
MaxConnections=1 in the config. This ensures that no accidental
filesystem corruption happens due to two or more simultaneous mounts.
However live migration is out of the question. To move a DomU from one
box to another with the MaxConnections=1 safeguard I have to;
Box 1:
Shutdown the DomU.
Perform an iSCSI logout.
Box 2:
Perform an iSCSI login.
Start the DomU.
Is there any way to perform a live migration of the above by getting Xen
to run iSCSI logout/login scripts as the DomU pauses in the middle of
the live migration? Are there any software hooks that can be used to do
this?
Or are there simpler methods to guarantee the safe/single use of iSCSI
disks that still allow Xen's live migration?
