Glad to hear that!

Currently, the DATACENTER parameter only allows one value. When
developing the code I didn't expect someone having more than two Data
Centers :-)

As a workaround, if you want to exclude the Storage Domains of an entire
Data Center, you can exclude them explicitly using the "NOBALANCE"
parameter of the config file, which does allow several values.


Ok, that works. I have few storage domains so no problem adding them to the list.

Thanks!!
 
If you consider this is something that should be implemented, feel free
to fill an issue or extend the code and send a Pull Request.


It's ok that way, no need to change it as far as I'm concerned

Thank you
 
Regards.
