So that when I’m home I can run the VM on the fast server & rdp to it from another desktop at the house. And so when I’m out I can migrate it to the laptop & rdp to it locally from the KDE desktop on the laptop.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’d be using the Grizzly install guide on github to install them.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My concern is that I don’t know if the OpenStack node will function when it gets disconnected from the other node of the cluster. Can I connect & disconnect them at will & still run them as if they were standalone nodes?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Another thing I’d like to do with this cluster is to have the storage on each configured such that there is a copy of the data stored in the system available locally on each node, so when the Windows 7 VM is located at either node it can always be accessing a copy of the data locally. Somehow when the laptop comes & goes the copy on the server would have to be updated to reflect the changes made on the laptop’s copy as it was out- & vice-versa if changes are made to the server node’s copy while the laptop node is disconnected ever.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Can this be done?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance for your advice.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Chris<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
