DRoVirt

Disaster Recovery / Replication for oVirt/RHV

DRoVirt project has been created to address the need of Disaster-Recovery process of oVirt/RHV environments. DRoVirt's main objective is to provide a simple way to replicate VMs running in an oVirt environment.

Our plan is to deliver a Python-based solution that consists of 3 components:

• Data-mover - responsible for grabbing data periodically and transferring it
• Server/API - central management point to invoke tasks
• Database - small DB to store current tasks
• CLI - utility to easier manage the replication configuration tasks

The actual implementation of the replication is subject to discussion. Initially we want to start with oVirt/RHV 4.2 Disk Image Transfer API and later add additional strategies.

Proposed architecture

DRoVirt data mover is supposed to periodically snapshot and export data from RHV/oVirt API and transfer it to a second location where increments can be restored.

To Do

• nginx & uwsgi, postgresql servers do not start after reboot
• Command Line Interface
• Non-blocking VM acquisition
