Are there any good guidelines for building a KVM Cluster on Red Hat

Question

I am looking to understand how other people have built clusters of KVM host servers. I am especially interested in how people solved the problem of having them automatically failover if one node dies?

I have built this tutorial, but the one piece, I really haven't solved is explained above http://crunchtools.com/kvm-cluster-with-drbd-gfs2/ — fatherlinux, Sep 22 '10 at 18:37

I recommend reading this tutorial:

Looking at your blog post the thing you miss is a clustering solution like RHCS or Linux-HA.

RHEV still has a Windows only gui so still not an option, plus a completely different cost associated with it, thanks thought. – fatherlinux Sep 22 '10 at 19:17
If you read the news, the windows-only part is going to be gone. As for everything else, it is of course totally up to you – dyasny Sep 23 '10 at 04:01
Yeah, thanks I read that like 6 months ago, still nothing – fatherlinux Dec 29 '10 at 21:01

not an easy task, but it's been done. RHEV3 is in public beta, and should be released soon enough – dyasny Nov 06 '11 at 16:18

RHEV 3.0 will be released on the second half year of 2011, which will switch from Windows + .net to Linux + Java.

You can try ovirt, which is the open source version of RHEV. http://www.ovirt.org/Home It does HA and live migration. It also supports some OpenStack parts.
