[Xen-users] XCP: is there a way to keep a vm always active
Hey and thanks for reading :-), I was wondering.. I have a xen cloud on 8 nodes, with a failover fileserver under it based on drbd & nfs, so far so good :-). But when node-1 fails, and it was running a vm, is there a way to send a parameter with bootup of a vm to always keep it running? something like xe vm-start vm=dhcp --always-on Just wondering (and maby a good idea to intergrate ;-)) Thanks, Peter _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Peter, I have a VM watchdog almost ready to release. This will restart an accidently shut down VM as well as handle a crashed slave hosts VMs. Ultimate goal is to handle a crashed pool master automatically. Look for it around the first of next week, just finishing testing for crashed slave handling.
