Can you reassign disks between VMs yet? The hot add disks was a huge pain before. I couldn't believe I wasn't able to do that.

@scottalanmiller said in New Infrastructure to Replace Scale Cluster: So if a VM dies, oVirt will provide non-FT failover, yes. And by having failover you might achieve HA. And oVirt is a critical part of making that possible. But it itself isn't HA, nor does it guarantee HA. It's just a failover component that you can use to "do" HA. It's a component you buy (well, this one is opensource, but still), part of a solution that would cover other potential failure points. The solution in general is also something you can buy, in order to achieve a certain level of HA for those VMs

Way to go guys!

@scale I was forunate enough to see Scale in action from friend and saw his lab of multiple nodes connected. Scale does use KVM, and virt IO that is not secret, everyone can have this tech right now, but hypervisor alone is not enough, reminds me abit of mobile processors and cpus, you can have the best cpu but without decent gpu + uncore + modem, it will be crap, and same can be said for scale they wrap KVM with amazing tech to make it hyper-converged in such easy manner. Those multiple nodes pool resources and you have very easy web GUI to manage VMs and easily move them and clone them and migrate them to other nodes. So KVM or ESXi alone does not really cut it in this time and age. And scale magic is mostly in pooling storage in an effortless manner between nodes, and giving you all this in an easy web UI.
