We are working on an extension of OpenNebula's hook mechanism to allow to cold migrate (live migration if the source node is doing is not possible) all the VMs running on a host that goes down. This will be available in the final 2.0 version. > Also do the vm's checkpoint at all on their own to create some sort of backup > of state? Thanks Not automatically, but it would be healthy to have a checkpoint policy for VMs sensible to failovers.
