                <div>Hello Guilherme and all,<br>
                  <br>
                </div>
                I was able to deploy live migration with gluster: I
                originally tried NFS like you did but I found problems.<br>
                On the contrary, Gluster works perfectly and it's quite
                easy to instal and configure.<br>
                <br>
              </div>
              <div>This is what you need to do for a basic installation
                assuming that you have a node, working as a gluster
                server, with 2 disks and a set of compute nodes, working
                as gluster clients, that use the gluster shared
                directory for saving the running images.<br>
                <br>
              </div>
              -- On the gluster server --<br>
              <br>
            </div>
            1) Prepare the volumes<br>
            <br>
          </div>
          Assuming that you have two disks (/dev/sdb and /dev/sdc),
          create a primary partition on both of them using fdisk
          command.<br>
        </div>
        Format the volumes with command: sudo <span
style="font-size:11pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">mkfs.xfs
-i
          size=512 /dev/sdb1 and sudo </span><span
style="font-size:11pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span
style="font-size:11pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">mkfs.xfs
-i
            size=512 /dev/sdc1</span><br>
        </span>
        <div>
          <div>
            <div>Prepare two directories for mounting the two volumes:
              sudo mkdir -p /export/brick1 and sudo mkdir -p
              /export/brick2<br>
            </div>
            <div>Configure /etc/fstab for mounting the volumes by adding
              the following lines:<br>
              <p class="" style="margin-left:1in">/dev/sdb1<span
                  style="">       </span>/export/brick1<span style="">

                </span>xfs<span style="">    
                </span>defaults<span style="">        </span>0<span
                  style="">       </span>2</p>
              Mount the two volumes with command  sudo mount –a
            </div>

              <div>
                <div><br>

                    <div>Hello guys,<br>
                      <br>
                    </div>
                     I've been trying to deploy live migration to my
                    cloud using NFS but without success, I'd like to
                    know if somebody has tried live migration with
                    Gluster Storage, does it work? Any problem when
                    installing it? Following the documentation from its
                    website is easy to install?<br>
                    <br>
                  </div>
                  The only thing that is left to my cloud works 100% is
                  the live migration.<br>
                  <br>
                </div>
                Thank you all.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
