Thanks Greg! I like the name - sounds like science fiction is becoming more
like computer science:)
Note the following rule though:
"The two virtual machines on the source and the target must share the same
storage (hard disks as well as floppy and CD/DVD images). This means that
they either use the same iSCSI targets or that the storage resides
somewhere on the network and both hosts have access to it via NFS or
SMB/CIFS."
That means what we get is two pointers to the same container, not quite a
replicated container scenario.
Boris.
