Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Import FC Storage as iSCSI
Hi.
Thank you for looking into this. Does this only affect the import or
influences also the process of attaching storage domain to Data Center (you
can't attach iSCSI Storage Domain to FC DC and vice versa?)
Hi Raul,
for now, the fix should include the ability to "switch" storage types only
through the import process,and not through the attach process.
I think that the import process might be enough because you can always remove the Storage
Domain and re-import it to the setup as another storage type.
If I understand
correctly, the Data Center's storage type is set at the initialization time,
when the first storage domain is attached and you can't change it
afterwards. In previous versions you could clearly see the DC storage type,
now it's not visible.
You are right, mixed type data center is a feature introduced in version 3.4 (see
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Mixed_Types_Data_Center),
There should be only two type of Data Center local and shared.
The import Storage Domain feature is supported only from version 3.5 so it can only be
supported in mixed type Data Centers.
Regards.
Raul
