You can even configure a storage domain as a backup domain because it contains enough informations outside of the postgres database. SD is a masterpiece of oVirt so when you upload a single disk, it is stored to the default storage domain. That said, regular libvirt/kvm uses as well a SD equivalent by storing qcow2 images into the default /var/lib/libvirt/images/ > > Regards > Shafi > _______________________________________________ > 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/EFLZW5PPZEQ... -- Nathanaël Blanchet Administrateur Systèmes et Réseaux Service Informatique et REseau (SIRE) Département des systèmes d'information 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet(a)abes.fr
