[Fiware-lab-help] [FIWARE Lab] Migrate VM to another node

[Norman Gülcü]

Dear All,

My colleague sent an email about a week ago with some questions about the migration of existing VMs on Spain1 node of the FIWARE Lab. We are working in the FIspace project and use such VMs for validation and test of applications.
To do this migration, we need some instructions about existing mechanisms we could use or either sources of any information which could be useful or even needed for the migration process.

Please, feel free to forward this request to the responsible people, or to point us in the right direction.


Thank you in advance,
Norman Guelcue

Betreff: [FIWARE Lab] Migrate VM to another node

Hello all,

according to your latest "Reminders regarding new Terms and Conditions" from yesterday 23. April 2015, the node/region "Spain1" will be shut down and any VMs on that node should be migrated to node/region "Spain2".
As I have a VM running on node/region listed as "Spain" in the FIWARE Lab web frontend, which I assume is meant by "Spain1" from your email, I guess I have to migrate that VM, too.
What is the recommended way of doing that?
If yes, is there any information available on how to do that?
Is there some functionality in the web frontend that I haven't found yet and that does this migration automatically?
Or is there some other way to copy a VM from one node/region to another?
Or do I have to re-create the VM in the other node/region by hand - and then re-install my app and get another public IP for the VM (which I guess I can't anyway because public IPs seem to be limited to 1 per user) and then update the public IP in all the clients that are connecting to my VM?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Philip Reimer
