Field

VM Migration
Mapping
Specifies an alternate interface for migration. You can specify this when, for
example, the network address used for virtual machine migration on a node
differs from the address of the node used for cluster communication.
Specifying the following indicates that when you migrate a virtual machine from
member to member2, you actually migrate to target2. Similarly, when you
migrate from member2 to member, you migrate using target.
member:target,member2:target2

Recovery
policy
Specifies a migration type of live or pause . The default setting is live .
Hypervisor URI (automatic, KVM, or Xen)
If enabled, this virtual machine is started automatically after the cluster forms a
quorum. If this parameter is disabled, this virtual machine service is not started
automatically after the cluster forms a quorum; the virtual machine is put into the
disabled state.
If enabled, this virtual machine can only be relocated to run on another node
exclusively; that is, to run on a node that has no other virtual machines running
on it. If no nodes are available for a virtual machine to run exclusively, the virtual
machine is not restarted after a failure. Additionally, other virtual machines do not
automatically relocate to a node running this virtual machine as Run
exclusive . You can override this option by manual start or relocate operations.
D efines lists of cluster members to try in the event that a virtual machine fails.
Recovery policy provides the following options:
Disable — D isables the virtual machine if it fails.
Relocate — Tries to restart the virtual machine in another node; that is, it
does not try to restart in the current node.
Restart — Tries to restart the virtual machine locally (in the current node)
before trying to relocate (default) to virtual machine to another node.
Restart-Disable — (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 5.6 and later) The
service will be restarted in place if it fails. However, if restarting the service fails
the service will be disabled instead of being moved to another host in the
cluster.
