Here is a good article about Red Hat Clustering in combination with Xen
VM's. The clustering software manages the live migration of VM's. I have
some VM's running in this fashion from images on a GFS file system and
from physical partitions, it has been working very well to date. The
Clustering Software does a good job managing the VM's and will
automatically migrate running VM's from one physical system to another.
