[Users] Cannot add local storage on 3.2

Hi All, I have made a successfull install of 3.2 but there seems to be changed a lot about local storage comparing to 3.1 When I want to add storage on a local host there is a Datacenter and Cluster created for this Host, named by the name of the host. After this, the local storage is not available and I'm not able to add extra also. I have looked at "adding a new storage domains" and when I select my host I still need to set my path, but I did this already by configuring local storage before. The message I receive while configuring the local storage is: error cannot add storage. internal error storage connection doesn't exist What goes wrong here ? This was much easier on 3.1!

nothing changed. you can create local storage from the hosts tab or from the storage tab, but you still need to create the directory in the host and change the permissions to 36:36 from the error you are getting there is no directory or permissions are not 36:36 On 02/03/2013 03:16 PM, Matt . wrote:

I had the same error a few days ago on 3.2 beta and I confirm that after creating the directory and setting permissions I was able to add a local_on_host storage domain HIH, Gianluca

This is strange than. When I configure local storage from the hosts tab, I get a new DC and Cluster added. When I add the local storage from the storage tab I cannot add it also. What is the idea about the local storage ? I cannot remeber from 3.1 at the moment but I thought I always added it as NFS share on the Host itself. 2013/2/3 Gianluca Cecchi <gianluca.cecchi@gmail.com>

I don't know for 3.1, but in my 3.2 beta with an ISO DOMAIN (exported by the engine server) and a local domain under /home/LDATA (only /home is a mount point by itself) I have this df -h ... /dev/mapper/fedora_f18ovn03-home 456G 205M 432G 1% /home f18engine.localdomain.local:/ISO 45G 9.9G 33G 24% /rhev/data-center/mnt/f18engine.localdomain.local:_ISO mount ... /dev/mapper/fedora_f18ovn03-home on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered) f18engine.localdomain.local:/ISO on /rhev/data-center/mnt/f18engine.localdomain.local:_ISO type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=524288,wsize=524288,namlen=255,soft,nosharecache,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=6,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.1.111,mountvers=3,mountport=20048,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.1.111) [root@f18ovn03 ~]# ll /home/LDATA/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x. 5 vdsm kvm 4096 Feb 1 23:02 a5c8c654-7c47-4ca5-b440-5cbf92d3fc7d [root@f18ovn03 ~]# ll /home/LDATA/a5c8c654-7c47-4ca5-b440-5cbf92d3fc7d/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x. 2 vdsm kvm 4096 Feb 3 16:59 dom_md drwxr-xr-x. 3 vdsm kvm 4096 Feb 1 23:53 images drwxr-xr-x. 4 vdsm kvm 4096 Feb 1 23:02 master Gianluca

OK, thanks! So you don't have local storage on a KVM node, so not the management server. I would like to have this again and I think I need to setup an export with NFS. 2013/2/3 Gianluca Cecchi <gianluca.cecchi@gmail.com>

My vdsm node is a server with 5x146Gb sas disks configured in RAID5, so that the OS sees a disk with about 580Gb. Fedora 18 installation configured a big /home filesystem on that disk, and it is ok for me to use as a base for local storage domain. I created /home/LDATA, gave it the right permissions and pointed to that for local storage domain On the same server, with different DCs configured in web admin gui (so that I attach the host to one or another DC depending on what testing) I plan to test also - iSCSI pointing to a iSCSI target in sw with CentOS 6.3 VM (on another standalone fedora server) - iSCSI pointing to an equallogic storage array Gianluca

Hi, I have it working again. It had something todo with the 36:36 permissions indeed and a restart of NFS on the Node. Thanks! 2013/2/3 Gianluca Cecchi <gianluca.cecchi@gmail.com>
