Hi,
I don't know if it's possible yet but can we schedule the (live) storage
migration?
It would be awesome to have for example some VM data on SSD storage that
migrates to HDD storage when the VM is shutdown. Or have VM's with high
IO load during specific times migrate to a high IO storage domain during
these hours.
if the VM is down, you can move it, not (live) storage migration.
I realize it will generate extra load while migrating but this can be
planned for. Maybe the guys from glusterfs could enable storage
migration on their side so the migration can execute on the storage
server triggered by ovirt, that would be even better performance wise.
in any case, you can script anything with the API...
I was being lazy... So I can use the
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/oVirtSchedulerAPI for this? Or do I have
to hack around with the engine api. I will spend some time diving into it.
you can use the scheduler api, but I don't remember it having an event
for OnVmStop.
you can also use it for a periodic "balancing" call, but for that, you
can also just use cron.
in either case you will need to do the relevant api calls for moving the
disks around. i'd go with the cron approach.
What about a vdsm hook?
you can't move things around not via engine or you will lose the sync
between them
