what is "distributed image repository"?
thanks.
Example
I have a test environment where a Host is connected to several FCP LUNs.
Each LUN becomes a storage domain for this host and the other hosts in
the same cluster.
So I have many VMs whose images resides on different storage domains
(and so different LUNs).
I can move a disk of a VM from a storage domain to another one.
I think you can also have a mixed situation where a two disks' VM has
one disk on a storage domain and the other one in another.
So I think it is to be explained this way the "distributed image repository".
And also "distributed" in the sense of different storage domain types,
even if I think at this time one DC cannot have a mix of different
storage domain types...
