I set up my exports domain on a host node since it had space and the export process will be rarely used in my case. Since your use will also be seldom, the only consideration is bandwidth and space. NFS can easily run on the engine machine as the default ISO domain indicates. One more share will make little difference in that system's performance.

Hi,

Here is a simple question about what is the best practice about the location of a NFS export domain.

At present, I'm using a server as the oVirt manager, and this server is also a NFS server for the ISO storage domain.

I'm using another server to serve an NFS export domain, but I'm thinking of changing that.

Is there any advice against the decision to host the export domain NFS on the same server as the manager? For the time being, I will mainly use this export storage domain to rarely import some p2v imports, but I don't need performance.

Your opinion?
