OK makes sense, I am using a freeness appliance…
So I somehow need to create those users? kvm (36)/group vdsm(36) and set
that permission to the iso directory?
I suspect I wold have to do the same for any other shared storage I plan to
use for virtual machines in the cluster?
Thanks
Kyle
I have never used freenas so I can't help you there, but I am assuming you can
add users to it using the UI, you just have to make sure the user/group id is
both 36 (kvm/vdsm) and that the user is able read/write to the appropriate
exported directories. On the other hand I am wondering how you managed to add
the data/iso domains if the HVs are unable to connect to it.
