Hello,
now with oVirt 3.5 there is also iSCSI with NFS as backed
storage for
Hosted Engine.
What is the limitation about the storage domain? The integration in
setup scripts or due to storage type itself in engine mgmt?
Both ;) The storage is managed via vdsm so whatever vdsm supports HE
should support, but it requires some work in setup and the agent code.
What I mean is: if in some way one initially configures the
engine on an
external server (physical or virtual), could then be feasible
migrating
it "manually" in the oVirt environment (with backup/restore steps)?
- yes
Sorry,
do you mean that I can have a Gluster storage domain, with an external
engine and then backup/restore the egine inside a vm on this Gluster
environment as a self hosted engine?
- yes, moving the engine to the vm is not different from moving it to
another physical machine, is it?
