主题: About Instance Storage Live Migration on VMware

Hi, All,

 

   My env is cloudstack 4.4.2 + VMware 5.5, and it works well. 

   I deploy an instance and try to migrate the ROOT disk to another vmfs
primary storage. After that I find the ROOT disk is in new vmfs primary
storage but the .vmx , .vmxf and .log etc still in the origin vmfs primary
storage.

   If I want to migrate the instance (all of the files in the floder of the
instance) to new vmfs primary storage, May CloudStack 4.4.2 Support to do
this ? Thanks.

 

Best Regards,

Star Guo

I am curious, when you say you used VMware's Storage vMotion, do you mean
the intent was to live migrate the storage underlying one of your VMs? I
was not aware that CloudStack supported this.

I believe CloudStack supports the offline migration of VM disks, but it
seems to me that, say, offline migrating a root disk wouldn't bring along
the config and log files that also shared the same datastore with that root
disk (perhaps it should, though).

Maybe one of our VMware gurus can explain what is the expected behavior
here.
