LVM 2
Due to performance reasons VMs should be installed in LVMs. For recovering a LVM in a Raid-1 see:Recovery of RAID and LVM2 Volumes
Installed Version:
Installed Packages Name : lvm2 Arch : i386 Version: 2.02.16 Release: 3.el5 Size : 5.5 M Repo : installed Summary: Userland logical volume management tools
NOTE: for having the live-migration-posibility we have to look at Cluster-LVM or something like that.
To get started ....
Setting up LVM2 on kribbe
Using /dev/srv resp. /dev/md3 for LVM we have to:
- comment out /dev/md3 in /etc/fstab
- umount /dev/srv (only once)
- Creating the physical volume and XenVG Volumegroup:
[root@kribbe ~]# pvcreate /dev/md3 Physical volume "/dev/md3" successfully created [root@kribbe ~]# vgcreate XenVG /dev/md3 Volume group "XenVG" successfully created
Within this volume-group we can now manage the partitions for the virtual maschines using lvcreate, lvresize, .... commands
