Can i do this with ovirt?

What i want to do is have the hosts use their local storage..i do not want to use NAS or NFS for storage of host or virtual machine data/files. I wan each host to have their local SATA disks as their storage....just like in Ganeti Can ovirt do this? It is ok to have ISO images on the ovirt-engine/management host but i do not want NFS or Shared storage when it comes to the hosts in the infrastructure. Please advice. Thanks!!!

Yes this is possible. Please note, that ISO and Export Domains _need_ to be NFS-Shares but this should not collide with your local storage usage. Of course some advanced usage scenarios are not possible with local storage, e.g. live migration. HTH Am 26.05.2014 03:09, schrieb Grant Tailor:

Sure you can use the "Local storage" feature. What's the reason you don't want NFS? IS it because you don't want to have a dedicated storage or because you want to separate your vm storages? If it's the dedicated storage you could have a look at GlusterFS, otherwise you can for sure use the local disks.

In oVirt 3.4.1 you have to use either NFS or POSIXFS - so there's a need for a NAS...
Please advice.
Thanks!!!
