Dear Ilknur,

There is a method to migrate VMs from one region to another. Take a look to http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/cli-use-snapshots-to-migrate-instances.html but it is a bad solutions due to you need to have or keep the snapshot for each migrated VM.

We are trying to find a better solution in order not to keep this image in the target OpenStack environment. We will give you more details on it.

Fernando

Thanks very much Fernando. We are looking forward to hearing the solution.

In the meanwhile, another question, how can we create a local backup of this VM? Do we create a snapshot and somehow download it? I could not see any options in the cloud portal to download snapshots, do we need to use the glance client, or is there an easier way?

Btw, after talking with my colleagues, it seems it will be more preferable for us to keep the VM in both nodes (Spain and SpainTenerife) instead of migrating it completely from Spain to SpainTenerife.

Best regards,

ilknur

Creating a snapshot and download it with glance client is the best solution.

And I assume we can access the glance client from the original VM? Is that how we should do it?

Comment by joseignacio.carreteroguarde@telefonica.com :

May I ask you to write your question in https://ask.fiware.org — This
is an interesting question that can be usefull for many users.

The answer, anyway is no: You should do it from outside your VM. You can
download your image to your host.

Regards, José Ignacio.

Hi Ilknur, Jose
can we close this ticket ?

Dear Alfonso,

Actually, no. Jose Ignacio has kindly answered my second question about taking a local back up of an instance.
But we are still waiting for the migration of our VM from the Spain node to the SpainTenerife node.
Fernando has mentioned that they were working on a new mechanism for this.

Fernando, do you have any updates?

Many thanks,

ilknur

Hi,

Maybe you could add a new VM in SpainTenerife and copy data between your nodes? Would that be feasible?

Regards,
José Ignacio.

Hi again,

I'm supposing this is feasible for you, so I'm closing this ticket.

Regards,
José Ignacio.
