Hi All, I have made a successfull install of 3.2 but there seems to be changed a lot about local storage comparing to 3.1 When I want to add storage on a local host there is a Datacenter and Cluster created for this Host, named by the name of the host. After this, the local storage is not available and I'm not able to add extra also. I have looked at "adding a new storage domains" and when I select my host I still need to set my path, but I did this already by configuring local storage before. The message I receive while configuring the local storage is: error cannot add storage. internal error storage connection doesn't exist What goes wrong here ? This was much easier on 3.1! _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

I don't know for 3.1, but in my 3.2 beta with an ISO DOMAIN (exported by the engine server) and a local domain under /home/LDATA (only /home is a mount point by itself) I have this df -h ... /dev/mapper/fedora_f18ovn03-home 456G 205M 432G 1% /home f18engine.localdomain.local:/ISO 45G 9.9G 33G 24% /rhev/data-center/mnt/f18engine.localdomain.local:_ISO mount ... /dev/mapper/fedora_f18ovn03-home on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered) f18engine.localdomain.local:/ISO on /rhev/data-center/mnt/f18engine.localdomain.local:_ISO type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=524288,wsize=524288,namlen=255,soft,nosharecache,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=6,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.1.111,mountvers=3,mountport=20048,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.1.111) [root@f18ovn03 ~]# ll /home/LDATA/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x. 5 vdsm kvm 4096 Feb 1 23:02 a5c8c654-7c47-4ca5-b440-5cbf92d3fc7d [root@f18ovn03 ~]# ll /home/LDATA/a5c8c654-7c47-4ca5-b440-5cbf92d3fc7d/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x. 2 vdsm kvm 4096 Feb 3 16:59 dom_md drwxr-xr-x. 3 vdsm kvm 4096 Feb 1 23:53 images drwxr-xr-x. 4 vdsm kvm 4096 Feb 1 23:02 master Gianluca

My vdsm node is a server with 5x146Gb sas disks configured in RAID5, so that the OS sees a disk with about 580Gb. Fedora 18 installation configured a big /home filesystem on that disk, and it is ok for me to use as a base for local storage domain. I created /home/LDATA, gave it the right permissions and pointed to that for local storage domain On the same server, with different DCs configured in web admin gui (so that I attach the host to one or another DC depending on what testing) I plan to test also - iSCSI pointing to a iSCSI target in sw with CentOS 6.3 VM (on another standalone fedora server) - iSCSI pointing to an equallogic storage array Gianluca
