Hi,
I know Itamar explained that the notion of master storage domain will
disappear in some releases.
But now, with a 3.4 I'm installing, I was wondering :
- on my other oVirt setups, I started with one big (iSCSI) LUN, which is
the master, and stored as many VMs I could
- when space came to miss, I added another LUN, the another...
- when I have to do some maintenance (grow, disable, other...) on a LUN,
I can move my VM disks amongst the normal storage domains. When Empty, I
can switch them off, add others, and so on
The only one I can not play with is the master one.
I came to think that I had no benefice storing anything on the master
storage domain, and use only the normal storage domains.
And then, I came to think I had no reason to dedicate a huge LUN for the
master.
Ok, but according to you, what is the minimum reasonable size for a
master storage domain?
you should be able to move master domain to maint (deactivate, not
detach) as well (full or empty). engine will just configure another
storage domain as master iirc.
