I am looking to understand how other people have built clusters of KVM host servers. I am especially interested in how people solved the problem of having them automatically failover if one node dies?

I recommend reading this tutorial:

Looking at your blog post the thing you miss is a clustering solution like RHCS or Linux-HA.

  • RHEV still has a Windows only gui so still not an option, plus a completely different cost associated with it, thanks thought. Sep 22, 2010 at 19:17
  • If you read the news, the windows-only part is going to be gone. As for everything else, it is of course totally up to you

    not an easy task, but it's been done. RHEV3 is in public beta, and should be released soon enough

RHEV 3.0 will be released on the second half year of 2011, which will switch from Windows + .net to Linux + Java.

You can try ovirt, which is the open source version of RHEV. http://www.ovirt.org/Home It does HA and live migration. It also supports some OpenStack parts.
