Xen users - Jun 2012 - Redundant setup across two datacenters with two XCP hosts

Hello all,

I am looking to run only 1 VM on this setup, don''t need to do live
migration,
although that would be nice, I just want to protect against hardware and
datacenter/network failure. The VM is lightly loaded, not much disk I/O or
CPU load.

I have two machines, each one with 2 x SATA 250GB, and 1 SSD 128GB.
(There is a simple RAID-1 SATA hardware controller on board).

I am willing to spend the time to configure these machines, but buying
extra hardware is pretty much out of the question.

Would it be possible to create a configuration where these two machines
could span two datacenters in a redundant way?

thanks for any insights,
Ron

It sounds like you want to try setting up Remus, though I''m not sure
how
well that would work with hosts running in different datacenters.
