VM failover and failback with Harvey and NetApp SnapMirror on SUSE Virtualization

Harvey is a small open source CLI that fails VMs over between two SUSE Virtualization clusters: NetApp SnapMirror moves the disks, Harvey moves the VM definitions and runs stop, final sync, promote and start. Recorded runs of status, metadata sync, failover, reprotect and failback, with measured RTO and RPO.

NetApp to NetApp: SnapMirror between two ONTAP simulators for SUSE Virtualization disaster recovery

A second ONTAP simulator, cluster and SVM peering, and Trident volume replication between two SUSE Virtualization clusters: what it takes, how far behind the replica runs with a one-minute schedule, and the gotchas, including a Trident promote quirk and VM disks cloned from images.
