Re: [ovirt-users] Using both shared and local storage
No, it doesn't work as expected. I would expect to have an option
to attach
to any Virtual Machine storage which is either shared or local.
It does work as expected, do your homework first to know how oVirt does
work. Your expectation are just your expectations.
Question: How would you migrate a VM in a cluster with local storage?
Wouldn't glusterfs solve the issue? It can use those SSDs... (Not expert
in glusters here...).
j.
For example, I have database server so I could put on shared storage
and
use local, SSD disk for data. I don't care if system is on "slow" network
storage but with a lot of space and in the same time, I can use limited,
but fast SSD space for data only.
So, is this possible or not?
