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? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/QIE25GTCP64...

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? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/6EP4NKG22FS...
