Hi,
I'm new to oVirt but I must say I am impressed! I am running it on a HP DL380 with an external SAS chassi. Linux dist is Centos 6.5 and oVirt is 3.4 running all-in-one (for now unt=
il we need to have a second host).
Our company (www.vireone.com<http://www.vireone.com>) deals with system a=
rchitecture for many telco and media operators and is now setting up a smal= l own datacenter for our internal tests as well as our IT infrastructure.
We are in the process of installing Zentyal for the SMB purposes on a gue= st and it would be great to have that guest also serving a fs path director= y with NFS + SMB (which is semi crippled on the host after oVirt installati= on with version 3 et.c.).
Does anyone have an idea of how I can through oVirt (seen several solutio= ns using virsh and kvm) letting my Zentyal Ubuntu guest have access to a ho= st mount point or if necessary (second best) a seperate partition?
Best regards Niklas
Why not just give the guest a thin provision virtual hard drive and expand = it on a demand basis? /K Thanks for the advise but this would not suite us I'm afraid. It would be d= ifficult wrt incremental backups as well as host machine file-routines. --_000_A7261534C197485E99C1A29B993CD5BEvireonecom_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-= 1"> </head> <body dir=3D"auto"> <div><br> </div> <div><br> On 12 jul 2014, at 16:57, "Karli Sj=F6berg" <<a href=3D"mailto= :Karli.Sjoberg@slu.se">Karli.Sjoberg@slu.se</a>> wrote:<br> <br> </div> <blockquote type=3D"cite"> <div> <p dir=3D"ltr"><br> Den 12 jul 2014 15:45 skrev Niklas Fondberg <<a href=3D"mailto:niklas@vi= reone.com">niklas@vireone.com</a>>:<br> ><br> > Hi,<br> ><br> > I’m new to oVirt but I must say I am impressed! <br> > I am running it on a HP DL380 with an external SAS chassi.<br> > Linux dist is Centos 6.5 and oVirt is 3.4 running all-in-one (for now = until we need to have a second host).<br> ><br> > Our company (<a href=3D"http://www.vireone.com">www.vireone.com</a>) d= eals with system architecture for many telco and media operators and is now= setting up a small own datacenter for our internal tests as well as our IT= infrastructure.<br> > We are in the process of installing Zentyal for the SMB purposes on a = guest and it would be great to have that guest also serving a fs path direc= tory with NFS + SMB (which is semi crippled on the host after oVirt ins= tallation with version 3 et.c.).<br> ><br> > Does anyone have an idea of how I can through oVirt (seen several solu= tions using virsh and kvm) letting my Zentyal Ubuntu guest have access to a= host mount point or if necessary (second best) a seperate partition?<br> ><br> > Best regards<br> > Niklas<br> ></p> <p dir=3D"ltr">Why not just give the guest a thin provision virtual hard dr= ive and expand it on a demand basis?</p> <p dir=3D"ltr">/K</p> </div> </blockquote> Thanks for the advise but this would not suite us I'm afraid.
