Hi,
yes, the disks are local storage on each compute nodes
But I did configure LVM  on each compute node, and did configure this according 
to the Juno Install guide:

"The service provisions logical volumes on this device
using the LVM driver and provides them to instances via iSCSI transport."

And volume groups are configured on each compute node:
vgcreate cinder-volumes /dev/sdX

So, I guess I'm using a shared storeage  ( iscsi ) ?
Are you referring to LVM configuration and thus a shared storage,  iscsi ?

Best regards
Yngvi

Hi,

do you have shared storage for your instances? If your instances disks are in a 
shared storage like iscsi or CEPH you can do live migrations without problems, 
otherwise, if your instances disks are in the compute nodes local storage ( 
/var/lib/nova/instances), you may need to put this directory in a NFS share to 
be able to do live migrations.

BR,
Xabier

Hi

I have installed and configured OpenStack(Juno) environment on Ubuntu(14.04).
We have currently 1 controller node, 3 network nodes and 4 compute nodes as 
well as 4 swift nodes.
I'm using OpenStack Networking (neutron).

I was thinking of doing a "live migration" of several instances, if I need to 
do a OS upgrade on  a compute node.
For the task of configuring "live magration" I've been reading this document:

OpenStack Cloud Administrator Guide
current (2015-05-21)
Copyright © 2013-2015 OpenStack Foundation Some rights reserved.

I can quickly see it's necessary to add this line to the nova.conf file ( on 
computer nodes):

live_migration_flag=VIR_MIGRATE_UNDEFINE_SOURCE,VIR_MIGRATE_PEER2PEER,
VIR_MIGRATE_LIVE, VIR_MIGRATE_TUNNELLED

Also, it seems I need to configure a NFS mount og the dir
/var/lib/nova/instances
and thus configures file system access between all compute nodes.

My question is:
Is this the only way to configure a Live migration of instances in Openstack ?  
i.e. configure a nfs mount of directories?

Best regards
Yngvi
