Thank you very much for this! Looks like exactly what I was looking for... The first burst was somewhat frightening but it ended well and now no storage domain is overused :)
Glad to hear that!
One quick question: Is it possible to limit balancing to more than one datacenter? I have 3 datacenters and I'd like to exclude one of them. I see the DATACENTER config variable could do this but I'm not sure how to define more than one datacenter.
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. 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. Regards.
Thanks

Hi Jason,
A time ago I wrote a "Storage Balancer" exactly for that, move disks between storage domains to keep them below a maximum threshold of occupation. You can find the project at [1].
It's not perfect but has been working for us for the last 3 years with no issues.
That won't avoid people storing new disks in the first available storage domain, but the balancer will distribute them between the less occupied storage domains afterwards.
Hope this helps,
Nicolás

Hello
I'm trying to figure out a way to automatically distribute our storage domain occupation evenly or at least avoid them getting full. We have a lot of users creating vms and they seem to select the first available storage domain, thus one is nearly full and the rest are barely used.
Is there a way to accomplish that?
Thank you
