Hi, I have a 4.2 ovirt installation with the ovirt engine on one physical host and two other physical hosts already successfully added in my "Hosts". I want to use a local block device on one of the hosts for storage and I can't find any guide on how to do that. I tried putting the host in maintenance mode and then select "Configure local storage" and put "/dev/sdb" where it says "Set the path to your local storage:". Then I get the error: 2018-10-24 05:38:11,166-04 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.connection.FileStorageHelper] (default task-37) [_WEBADMIN_15309851_Configure_Local_Storage] The connection with details '/dev/sdb' failed because of error code '469' and error message is: permission settings on the specified path do not allow access to the storage. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, guide for adding local storage is here: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Storage/#preparing-loca... I guess that main problem is the directory you want to add as storage: *Important:* On oVirt Node, the path used for local storage must be within the /var directory; create the storage directory in the following procedure within |/var|.

Yes, I have seen this guide. So my understanding is that you can add local storage either through iSCSI, or through a local filesystem (this is the storage directory you are referring to). There is no way to add a directly attached block device (eg /dev/sdb). Is this correct?

Yes, that should be correct. There is no direct way to add /dev/sdb to oVirt. Maybe you can also try gluster hyperconverged for managing the local storages on hosts. https://ovirt.org/documentation/gluster-hyperconverged/Gluster_Hyperconverge... Lucie On 10/24/18 1:52 PM, Tryfon Farmakakis wrote:
