(Re-adding the list, adding Sandro) The plan for hyper-convergence is to require at least 3 hosts, so that you have a replica-3 cluster storage. Perhaps we should reconsider allowing local storage with hosted-engine. This will prevent HA, but will fit into the place of current allinone usage. The next stage will be that users will ask to migrate this local storage to shared one (or even gluster :-) ). For a 2-cluster HA setup we do not have, or plan to have AFAIK, any official support, but you can have a look at DRBD [1]. [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Features/DRBD Best, -- Didi

solution for removing a data storage
by alireza sadeh seighalan 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

hi everyone for removing a data storage and add it again this solution is ok: 1. Use the Storage resource tab, tree mode 2. Select the storage domain in the main tab 3. In the details pane at bottom select datacenter tab 4. Select the DC where the storage domain is active 5. Select Maintenance link 6. Select Detach link to detach from the data center. Now you don't see any more the storage domain in storage resource tab. 7. Go to system --> Storage and the storage domain now in in an unlinked state 8. Select the storage domain and choose "remove" 9. Select a host from the list. 10. Click OK to remove the storage domain and close the window. best regards seighalani
