Hi.
I've installed two physical servers with Debian 6, Xen 4 and drbd8.
I'm trying to do live migration, and seems to work (despite it's taking 1m30 to 
execute xm migrate, on a 100mbit link).
These are going to be managed by heartbeat, and there's something I cannot 
understand: I've created the VM using virt-manager, and it placed the config in 
/var/lib/xend/domains on the first dom0. This config is NOT replicated accross 
xen servers.

I'd like to know: is it possible to make Xen servers communicate and share VM 
configs?
Or should I place that dir on a shared location (drbd) between the two?

Thanks

if you don't have shared storage now, there is no way you are doing live migration. My guess is you are doing a plain migration and that is why it takes this long.

DRBD is a cheap way to share storage and combine with Xen.
