Hi,
does a storage best practise document for oVirt exist?
Some examples:
oVirt allows to extend an existing storage domain: Is it better to keep a
1:1 relation between LUN and oVirt storage domain?
What do you mean by 1:1 relation? Between storage domain and the number of
LUNs the domain reside on?
If not, is it better to avoid adding LUNs to an already existing
storage
domain?
No problems with storage domain extension.
Following the previous questions:
Is it better to have 1 Big oVirt storage domain or many small oVirt
storage domains?
Depends on your needs, be aware to the following:
- Each domain has its own metadata which allocates ~5GB of the domain size.
- Each domain is being constatntly monitored by the system, so large number
of domain can decrease the system performance.
There are also downsides with having big domains, like less flexability
There is a max num VM/disks for storage domain?
In which case is it better to use "direct attached lun" with respect to an
image on an oVirt storage domain?
