Hello List,
I have a proposal and wont mind to implement my self but need a
helping hand to start on.
I want to implement the aggressive FT feature in XCP. The best way
I could imagine is the use of feature *Live Migration*
Steps
1. Enable the FT of a particular VM using xe commands and adding
as a param to that VM e.g. xe vm-param-set FT=true uuid=XYZ
2. If the FT = true detected by xenstore then xapi will initiate a
live migrate of that VM to any of available host.
3. A parallel "network ping"/"xapi heartbit" from/to that host
could be initialized for each FT VM.
4. Live migrate will run forever until its disabled by FT = false
or one of the host is down. e.g. the process will loop at 99.99%
migration state
5. If there is a packet drop of x packets the VM Migrate procedure
will mark the VM Migration as Complete and will switch the devices
forcefully.
-- this could result in some data loss but I dont have any
alternative to this.
-- The specific x packets can be set by XCP but we cant rely for
default XCP Errors
6. If there is a successful migration due to host down then we
will again start from step2
Above steps I have assumed to my knowledge, we can discuss the
problems in it.
Apologies if I'm being too naive.

Rushikesh
This sounds like Remus
(http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/). Are you proposing to implement
Remus support in xapi?
