Virtual server migration resource

The virtual server migration resource provides a way to define preferred nodes to host specific virtual servers, and to migrate virtual servers between cluster nodes.

Child Topics

• Virtual server migration objects

  The object model describing this resource contains the following objects.

• Migrate virtual server to specific cluster node

  Migrates a virtual server from one physical node to another one. Any clients may experience a momentary disruption, as they will need to disconnect and reconnect once the virtual server has moved.

• Migrate all node virtual servers to another node

  Migrate all virtual servers hosted on a specific cluster node, to another node within the cluster. Any clients may experience a momentary disruption, as they will need to disconnect and reconnect once the virtual server has moved.

• Migrate virtual servers to preferred nodes

  Migrate all virtual servers to their preferred cluster node, if it has been set. Virtual servers with no cluster node preference will not be migrated.

• Set preferred node for all virtual servers

  Set the preferred cluster node for each virtual server, to the cluster node that it is currently hosted on. It is not possible to set a preferred node for the admin virtual server.

• Get preferred node for all virtual servers

  Get the preferred cluster node for all file serving virtual servers, and the current node that hosts each virtual server.

• Set virtual server preferred node

  Each virtual server can have a preferred cluster node, to allow for load to be distributed around a cluster. The preferred nodes can be set all at once or individually.

• Clear virtual server preferred node

  Clear the virtual server preferred cluster node mapping.

• Get virtual server automatic failback

  Get the status of automatic virtual server failback.

• Enable virtual server automatic failback

  Enable automatic failback of virtual servers to their preferred cluster nodes.

• Disable virtual server automatic failback

  Disable automatic failback of virtual servers to their preferred cluster nodes.
