Learn how Harvester uses Longhorn to provide distributed block storage, the impact of replication factors on availability, and how to avoid common performance pitfalls.
Learn how Harvester uses Longhorn to provide distributed block storage for VMs, ensuring high availability through synchronous replication and dynamic volume expansion.
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.
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.
Harvester blends KubeVirt and Longhorn to give VMs the mobility of containers while preserving persistent storage. Learn how the architecture keeps VM data safe across node failures, how to verify the integration, and when to shift to external storage for low-latency workloads.
Harvester utilizes Longhorn to provide distributed block storage for virtual machines, supporting online volume expansion to increase disk size without requiring a VM reboot. While the Harvester UI and the underlying Longhorn engine can resize the block device, there is a technical gap between the block-level expansion and the guest operating system's recogn
