Harvester Live Migration: The Storage and Capacity Checks That Make Node Maintenance Safe
Live migration in Harvester is a storage and capacity decision before it is a UI action. Learn the Longhorn prerequisites, KubeVirt migration checks, and a repeatable node-maintenance runbook.
Managing VM Persistence in Harvester via Longhorn Replication
Learn how Harvester uses Longhorn to provide distributed block storage for VMs, ensuring high availability through synchronous replication and dynamic volume expansion.
Live Migration in Harvester: Moving VMs Without Downtime
Need to patch a Harvester node without killing VMs? Live migration moves VM memory between nodes using KubeVirt and shared storage, but only with compatible CPUs and no device passthrough.
Diagnosing Harvester Log Forwarding Failures to Loki or Elasticsearch
Identify why Harvester isn’t sending logs to Loki or Elasticsearch and follow ordered checks to resolve connection, auth, or config issues.
elasticsearchLeveraging Rook‑Ceph RBD for Harvester VM Disks: A Practical Guide
Use Rook‑Ceph RBD with Harvester to give VMs distributed, highly available block storage. This guide walks through deployment, provisioning, and trade‑offs.
Live VM Migration in Harvester: Constraints, Workflow, and Verification
Harvester live migration moves running VMs between nodes using Longhorn storage and Calico networking, but device passthrough, hostPath volumes, and custom CPU models block it. Learn how to check eligibility, trigger migration, and verify zero‑downtime success.
Harvester Architecture Note: Integrated KubeVirt and Longhorn Design
An architecture note covering Harvester’s integrated KubeVirt and Longhorn design: requirements, minimal viable layout, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and redesign triggers.
Architecting Storage Resilience in Harvester HCI with Longhorn
Learn how Harvester uses KubeVirt and Longhorn to build a resilient HCI. This guide covers the 3-node minimum design, trust boundaries, and how to verify storage failover.
