Hey All,
I've added a 4TB LUN to my physical storage and now I want to use that,
instead of GlusterFS as my datastore for VM's on that physical. How do
I do this?
I've tried a number of options, including adding LUN's but appears I can
only add them to VM's directly but not use them as my datastores instead
of GlusterFS.

Allright.
So I followed this and configured local storage. It had some default
names that I changed. It would have been either the default name, or
one I choose. In either case it would be a different name then the
Gluster storage domain the host was a part of anyway.
Once the process completed for both hosts, I noticed the Gluster volume
storage domain was offline and the gluster volume was gone. I can't
seem to add that back in anymore. I get:
"Error while executing action DisconnectStorageServerConnection: Error
storage server disconnection"
Guessing I can't have local storage in addition to Gluster on the same
hosts and available for VM's?
Reason why I need that is that Gluster is slow but provides redundancy
and live migration. But I also wanted direct storage for VM's requiring
faster IO. So here's my scenario:
host01
/dev/sda OS
/dev/sdb 4TB (For Gluster)
/dev/sdc 4TB (For Local Storage)
host02
/dev/sda OS
/dev/sdb 4TB (For Gluster)
/dev/sdc 4TB (For Local Storage)
I would like to have:
1) GlusterFS volume available to oVirt via the two /dev/sdb drives in
both physical hosts.
2) Two locally attached LUN's, each separate and local to that physical
host.
Is this possible?
Cheers,
TK

New subject: Trying to add a LUN to a host and use that, instead of Gluster, as the datastore for my VM's.
I'm working to reverse this scenario.
My storage domain still exists. However I can't activate it. The
Manage button is greyed out without clear indication as to why.
Difficult to tell what my next move should be.
Anyway to find out?
Cheers,
TK

New subject: Trying to add a LUN to a host and use that, instead of Gluster, as the datastore for my VM's.
Manged to reverse it through the options. Had to deactivate the custom
local cluster.
Now I have my GlusterFS back and want to try and add some local storage
to each host under the same DC, Cluster and Storage Domain. So
effectively I will have two storage locations. One on my GlusterFS and
the other on the local storage I've just defined.
Appears I can't make them coexist with oVirt. Either the host is placed
in a separate cluster with local storage, or I move it back to the
GlusterFS.
Appears I can't have two usable storage types under one host. Is this
correct?
What I'm looking for is in the image and shared earlier.
Cheers,
TK
