So, a copy of the disk image is ready to be used there if the HA daemon needs to start the guest up there. To use replication, all of the guest's disk images must be on ZFS storage, and the names of the ZFS storage on each node should also be the same. As with migration, we'll need to be aware of the host hardware that a guest is using as well, and we won't be able to properly replicate a system that uses PCI passthrough. My nodes each have a ZFS storage with the same name and that's what we'll use for a replication. Here's the first one, mypool on node 1. And here's the second one, mypool on node 2. I'll need to make sure that my guest's disk is located on a ZFS resource. So, I'll go into its settings here in the…
