第 9 章 Live migration
9.1. Virtual machine live migration
9.1.1. Prerequisites
- Before using LiveMigration, ensure that the storage class used by the virtual machine has a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) with a shared ReadWriteMany (RWX) access mode. See Storage defaults for DataVolumes to ensure your storage settings are correct.
9.1.2. Understanding live migration
Live migration is the process of moving a running virtual machine instance to another node in the cluster without interrupting the virtual workload or access. This can be a manual process, if you select virtual machine instance to migrate to another node, or an automatic process, if the virtual machine instance has a LiveMigrate eviction strategy and the node on which it is running is placed into maintenance.
Virtual machines must have a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) with a shared ReadWriteMany (RWX) access mode to be live migrated.
9.1.3. Updating access mode for LiveMigration
For LiveMigration to function properly, you must use the ReadWriteMany (RWX) access mode. Use this procedure to update the access mode, if needed.
Procedure
To set the RWX access mode, run the following
oc patchcommand:$ oc patch -n openshift-cnv \ cm kubevirt-storage-class-defaults \ -p '{"data":{"'$<STORAGE_CLASS>'.accessMode":"ReadWriteMany"}}'
