virtualcontrol

virtualcontrol is a configuration and monitoring tool for QEMU/KVM instances on a linux box. virtualcontrol primarily uses the KVM command line tools to do its job. Apart from trivial functions like starting and stopping virtual machines, virtualcontrol also allows freezing/thawing virtual machines (snapshot including memory dump), KVM machine migration and advanced storage functions like HA and dedicated storage solutions (OpenSANd).

Features

Controls KVM virtual machines
Written entirely in Perl, uses command line tools shipped with KVM
Allows easy configuration of large IP networks connecting virtual machines
Automatic restart of virtual machines, based on time of day or shutdown event
Uses NBD in order to connect to OpenSANd, an open storage area network solution
Integrated NBD proxy solution provides I/O statistics for each disk and allows to transparently survive temporary SAN disconnects
HA available through VM migration and transparent SAN disk mirroring
