[ovirt-users] Mix local and shared storage same data center on ovirt3.6 rc?

[Bloemen, Jurriën]

Hi,

I found this message: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-July/015413.html

Itamar from RedHat states that they are busy to make it working both local and shared storage on the same host.

Can somebody confirm that this will be the case? Or is there something else?

Kind regards,

Jurriën

No, you can not mix local and shared storage.

For shared storage, the basic assumption is that all hosts see all the storage, so you can migrate vms from any host to any host.

You can use local storage by exposing it as shared storage, for example, serve local lvs or files as luns via targetcli.
