new storage domain question

Hi, I just found something very interesting. While installing latest ovirt, I've created the shared_storage on my nas1 share folder (NFS). So far, so good. However, when trying to create additional 2 new storage domains, I can only create 1 (which means the shared_storage is 1 and a new one is 2, I cannot create a 3rd storage domain, 4th etc..). When I try, it shows an error (I don't remember which error right now). Why is that? and why this strange (IMHO) shared_storage thing? in a corporate, if I want to set up a virtualized environment, the storage administrator asks me which one I want (NFS, or an iSCSI LUN), do I need one or more, and then I'm adding them as a datastore (in VMWare, for example) and on top of that I'm installing the management software (for example, vCenter). with oVirt method, it will confuse VMware admins. Thanks

Hi Hetz, Do you mean you use the same export for each of the domains? On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 3:27 PM, Hetz Ben Hamo <hetz@hetz.biz> wrote:

Not export, add 3-4 new data domains On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 5:04 PM Tal Nisan <tnisan@redhat.com> wrote:

That was my question, to do that on NFS you'll have to have a separate export for each storage domain you would like to create for instance: nfs_server_host_name:/dir1 nfs_server_host_name:/dir2 nfs_server_host_name:/dir3 On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 5:05 PM, Hetz Ben Hamo <hetz@hetz.biz> wrote:

I do, lets say that I have: nas1:/export nas2:/export nas3:/export nas4:/export I can use the first one (nas1:/export) when I install the HE, but when I try to add a new data domain with either nas2:/export, nas3:/export, nas4:/export - it doesn't let me. I can, however, import an existing data domain. On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 5:21 PM Tal Nisan <tnisan@redhat.com> wrote:

OK, in that case I'll need to have the error, most likely it relates to either a non empty directory or a permission denied error
I can, however, import an existing data domain.
