Migration from one HN to another

I just wanted to get the content out there. Could someone pretty this thing up?

The vzmigrate script is used to migrate a Virutal Environment from one Hardware Node to another.

You first have to setup SSH to permit the old HN to be able to login to the new HN without a password prompt. Run the following on the old HN.

[root@OpenVZ ~]# ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa):
Created directory '/root/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
74:7a:3e:7f:27:2f:42:bb:52:4c:ad:55:31:6f:79:f2 root@OpenVZ.ics.local
[root@OpenVZ ~]# cd .ssh/
[root@OpenVZ .ssh]# ls -al

-rw-r--r--  1 root root  231 Aug 11 09:41 id_rsa.pub
[root@OpenVZ .ssh]# scp id_rsa.pub root@10.1.5.6:./id_rsa.pub
The authenticity of host '10.1.5.6 (10.1.5.6)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 3f:2a:26:15:e4:37:e2:06:b8:4d:20:ee:3a:dc:c1:69.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '10.1.5.6' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

id_rsa.pub               100%  231     0.2KB/s   00:00

Run the following on the new HN.

[root@Char ~]# cd .ssh/
[root@Char .ssh]# touch authorized_keys2
[root@Char .ssh]# chmod 600 authorized_keys2
[root@Char .ssh]# cat ../id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys2
[root@Char .ssh]# rm ../id_rsa.pub
rm: remove regular file `../id_rsa.pub'? y

Run the following on the old HN.

[root@OpenVZ .ssh]# ssh -2 -v root@10.1.5.6

Now that the vzmigrate script will function, a little bit on vzmigrate.

This program is used for VE migration to another node
Usage:
vzmigrate [-r yes|no] [--ssh=<options>] [--keep-dst] [--online] [-v]
        destination_address <VEID>
Options:
-r, --remove-area yes|no
        Whether to remove VE on source HN for successfully migrated VE.
--ssh=<ssh options>
        Additional options that will be passed to ssh while establishing
        connection to destination HN. Please be careful with options
        passed, DO NOT pass destination hostname.
--keep-dst
        Do not clean synced destination VE private area in case of some
        error. It makes sense to use this option on big VE migration to
        avoid syncing VE private area again in case some error
        (on VE stop for example) occurs during first migration attempt.
--online
        Perform online (zero-downtime) migration: during the migration the
        VE hangs for a while and after the migration it continues working
        as though nothing has happened.
-v
        Verbose mode. Causes vzmigrate to print debugging messages about
        its progress (including some time statistics).

Here is an example of migrating VE 101 from the current HN to one at 10.1.5.6:

[root@OpenVZ .ssh]# vzmigrate 10.1.5.6 101
OPT:10.1.5.6
Starting migration of VE 101 on 10.1.5.6
