What i think is disk0 is yr domU image on SAN.
/virtmach/images/sles10ak/disk0

Did u mount yr SAN disk partition at common mount point at both the machies.

mount /dev/sdc to common mount point like /virtmach on both machine.

Beacuse from the log, it looks like on destination machine u r not able to access the disk0.

Simple thing is just copy the domU onfig file to other machine and try to craete the domU. If it  goes fine then u could try migration.

Hi

I'm trying to build a HA Xen Cluster on SLES10SP1

I have two machines running a XEN dom0, the two machines share a SAN
disk, installed as OCFS2 partition.

First I installed SLES10 as a guest machine. The image is stored on my
shared partion.
I can start and stop the VM on the machine where I created it without
any problem...

Okay, as next step I changed the xend-config.sxp config file and enabled
relocation.

First I tried an offline migration. Without success...

In the log I found the following information (on the target machine).
Maybe someone can explain it a little bit:

[2007-08-08 14:31:58 xend 4730] ERROR (XendDomain:1011) Restore failed

     raise VmError("Device %s (%s) could not be connected. "
VmError: Device 51728 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not
found.

For me it seems that the second machine can't activate the disc???

On the first machine my shared partion is mounted as /dev/sdc

  Device File: /dev/sdc (/dev/sg3)
   Device Files: /dev/sdc,
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600508b4001077d100008000ecdf0000,
/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:10:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:3,
/dev/disk/by-uuid/7646af4f-e57e-4f1c-974b-308d552ff4a5,
/dev/disk/by-label/virtmach

on the second machine as /dev/sdb

Device File: /dev/sdb (/dev/sg2)
  Device Files: /dev/sdb,
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600508b4001077d100008000ecdf0000,
/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:10:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:2,
/dev/disk/by-uuid/7646af4f-e57e-4f1c-974b-308d552ff4a5,
/dev/disk/by-label/virtmach


This is the config file, created by the graphical 'virt-manager'.

ostype="sles10"
name="sles10-1"
memory=512
vcpus=1
uuid="55adf3ee-9f23-f3d4-6cad-48d4c43cdf84"
>>>localtime=0
builder="linux"
bootloader="/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py"
bootargs="--entry=xvda2:/boot/vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen"
extra="TERM=xterm "
disk=[ 'file:/virtmach/images/sles10ak/disk0,xvda,w',
'file:/isoimages/SLES-10-SP1-x86_64-DVD1.iso,xvdb,r', ]
vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:6f:70:d0', ]
vfb=["type=vnc,vncunused=1"]



After booting both dom0 machines my fresh installed domU isn't visible
any longer.
The image ist still on my shared partition but 'xm list' only reports
the dom0 instance????

HOW can I 'import' my 'lost' domU???

I think this 'import' is also necessary for my HA solution. If my first
machine crashes, the second one must be able to 'import' the DOMU to
start it???


Best regards

Andre
