[Users] Storage domain weirdness (or design)

[Alex Leonhardt]

Hiya,

Yes i can choose the storage domain, but I cannot force the host that is 
to be used for creating it. Even with 1Gbit network, creating a 80GB 
disk / 40 GB disk is still significantly longer process than actually 
required when doing a "dd" of /dev/null over the network.

Is it possible to manually change who is SPM master, create the 
disks/VMs required, and change it back ? How would that change affect 
the running VMs / would they try to migrate to the other HV ?

Alex
