I'm unhappy that VM's with shared storage, by design apparently, do not automatically fail to another host when the host node fails but that is likely to change if I can influence that in some way. Although not ideal, VM resiliency is not our long term goal I get it but it should at least be optional to accommodate TODAY's reality. But apparently the technical direction of Openstack has made a determination for some reason that you either deploy cloud-aware apps across the board or you agree not to have any resiliency for VM's. That's unrealistic. And legacy apps are in every single enterprise and not going away for a long long time so intentionally not supporting them is a massive question mark for me.</div><div><br></div><div>In fact, I'm going to revive the previous thread on this and try to understand this a little better.</div><div><br></div><div>/soapbox</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small"><b><i><br>Adam Lawson</i></b></div><div><font><font color="#666666" size="1"><div style="font-family:arial"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">AQORN, Inc.</div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">427 North Tatnall Street</div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">Ste. 58461</div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">Wilmington, Delaware 19801-2230</div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">Toll-free: (844) 4-AQORN-NOW ext. 101</div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">International: +1 302-387-4660</div></font><font color="#666666" size="1"><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">Direct: +1 916-246-2072</div></font></font></div></font></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small"><img src="http://www.aqorn.com/images/logo.png" width="96" height="39"><br></div></div></div>

</span>I am guessing, you are looking for HA of the guest VMs, is that correct?<br>
I am afraid OpenStack does not offer HA for guest VM in this moment. <br>

<br>
</span>The number 3 is a generic, minimum HA cluster requirement. It helps establish quorum of the cluster. It's always good to have odd number of cluster members. <br>
