This is for a private cloud and no thanks..i am okay with my local storage..have the local storage in RAID 1 and have a dedicated backup server with bacula doing continuous backup.

Having a network storage complicates things, and i dont want it..at least not now...maybe in 3 years i may want it but not now for what i am doing.

So anyone willing to help with how to setup hosts to use local storage?

Thanks

Um I missed the earlier part of this thread but I can tell you from experience not using shared storage of one kind or an other for virtualization is always a mistake you will regret latter. Its a common (almost default) mistake people who are just getting started with virtualization make. Fibre (which includes optical fiber and copper using the same protocols ) channel at best or a pNFS or Gluster solution will server you a lot better as long as you have a decent number of spindles and a lot of ram for cache on the storage servers/controllers.

I plan NOT to use shared storage or network storage and will be using local storage of hosts to provision storage for VMs

How do i do this?

For example in this screenshot, no way to configure local storage

Thanks
