I've moved 'typical' virtual machines between hosts with VMware VMotion and not experienced any network related issues with clients accessing those vm's. Does anyone have comments about running a VM serving as a router(Vyatta, linux, BSD, etc) and any effects putting such a vm through a VMotion? I'm concerned the more constant network stream such a vm would be handling would have an issue.
I'd like to consider the use of DRBD for data replication between a primary and secondary location. The initial plan is to establish a VPN tunnel between the two; the primary end using a slice of a dual T1 link and the secondary location setting on a cable / dsl line.
The secondary will exist for DR only - it will "never" replicate back to the primary.
Has anyone done/tired/using something like this and what are your experiences with it.
Linbit also has a (Paid) DRBD Proxy product that is supposed to be designed for operating across WAN type links (compression, multiple peers). Anyone tried this out?
