Hi guys, <br>
<br>
Currently, ISO domain is only supported on NFS storage. It could
improve the ease of use if it allows other types<br>
of file based storage to store ISO images. After an investigation,
I found there's not any restriction on this idea.<br>
So the whole work is removing the limitation on engine side. That
means engine should allow ISO domain could <br>
have different storage type from the data center it's attached, like
what we do with nfs ISO domain in SAN DC.<br>
<br>
I start this idea with localfs. I know local storage can't be seen
in cluster level. But it also provides a choice if no<br>
NFS available. VMs can be created on the host which has the ISO
repo, and then be migrated to any other host in the cluster.<br>
I have done the initial patches: allow creation ISO domain on
localfs [1] and support import ISO domain on localfs [2]<br>
I don't have much experience in java/j2ee/web development and engine
architecture. The patches just work for me.<br>
I am not sure if it will bring some potential problems. So any
feedback on the patch or the idea will be appreciated very much.<br>
<br>
<br>
Mark.<br>
