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.
