[ovirt-users] Re: How do I share a disk across multiple VMs?

Gluster in the VMs... I was thinking to propose it, but I wasn't sure what kind of workload you got. I think that with Redis and Gluster on VM - you will be quite fine. For the Galera - it doesn't need shared storage at all, so you will be quite fine. Don't forget that lattency kills gluster, so keep it as tight as possible , but in the same time keep them on separate hosts. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov В петък, 16 април 2021 г., 03:57:51 ч.

The plan is to create a MariaDB Galera cluster. Each of the 3 VMs will run MariaDB, as well as Apache or Nginx (I haven't decided which, yet), and will be able to accept web traffic. So the website files will need to be the same across all 3 virtual servers. My original intent was to setup a mount point on all 3 virtual servers that mapped back to the same shared disk. Strahil, 1 idea I had, which I don't think would be ideal at all, was to setup a separate, new, gluster configuration on each of the 3 VMs. Gluster virtualized on top of gluster! If that doesn't make your head spin, what will? But I'm not seriously thinking about that. :) It did occur to me that I could setup a 4th VM to host the NFS share. But I'm trying to stay away from as many single points of failures as possible.

If you want to share storage with multiple vms I’d probably just setup an nfs share on one of the vms  > On Thu, Apr 15, 2021 at 7:37 PM David White via Users users(a)ovirt.org wrote: > > I found the proper documentation at https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/#Shareable_Disks. > > When I tried to edit the disk, I see that sharable is grayed out, and when I hover my mouse over it, I see "Sharable Storage is not supported on Gluster/Offload Domain". > > So to confirm, is there any circumstance where a Gluster volume can support sharable storage? Unfortunately, I don't have any other storage available, and I chose to use Gluster, so that I could have a HA environment. > > Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. > > ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ > >   On Thursday, April 15, 2021 5:05 PM, David White via Users users(a)ovirt.org wrote: > > > > I need to mount a partition across 3 different VMs. > > > How do I attach a disk to multiple VMs? > > > This looks like fairly old documentation-not-documentation: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-ma... > > > Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. > > > Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org > > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org > > Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html > > oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ > > List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/WZY6OJWBH5K... https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/AFSDOLZCLVE... _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/3J6KFZM7K2A...
