From: users-bounces@ovirt.org [mailto:users-bounces@ovirt.org] On Behalf Of Groten, Ryan Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2015 01:59 PM To: users@ovirt.org Subject: [ovirt-users] Benefits of Cluster separation We're running into some performance problems stemming from having too many Hosts/VMs/Disks running from the same Datacenter/Cluster. Because of that I'm looking into splitting the DC into multiple separate ones with different Hosts/Storage. But I'm a little confused what the benefit of separating hosts into clusters achieves. Can someone please explain what the common use cases are? Since all the clusters in a DC seem to need to see the same storage, I don't think it would help my situation anyway.
