Hi folks -
I hope this is the right place for this question; I have tried to
Google this but in general haven't been able to find much in the way
of docs outside of the main installation guide.
In aforementioned guide there are instructions for configuring
local-only storage on oVirt Node machines:
"On a oVirt Node host, set up the path for the local storage
as /data/images. This is the only path
permitted for a oVirt Node. On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux host other
paths are supported but the
directories to support it must be manually created first."
I'm probably missing something, but it's unclear to me how to create
this local storage mountpoint on that host. (I don't see anything in
the Node TUI.) I tried simply specifying "/data/images" in the hopes
that it was automatically created, but the Admin console just spun
indefinitely (eventually refreshing the page revealed that the store
was note created).
I'm currently rebuilding that Node as a F16+VDSM box instead -- so I
can get in there and set this up manually (is there a way to get into
schell on oVirt Nodes and mess with the [F16-based?] OS?)
You can drop to the shell using F2 and create the directory that way.
IMO, since we restrict the location you can create a local data store,
we should automatically create that when configuring the local
datastore.
We can't actually pre-create the directory since it's a mounted
filesystem, but it might be possible to do it at installation or boot
time. The right place is in vdsm when it's trying to create the local
data store.
Dan, is this possible to do? Isn't /data2/images also a possible
location?
Thanks
Mike
Any guidance greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hans
