[ovirt-users] Using Local Harddisks on the Host for Storage Domains

[Tom Gamull]

I’ve done the same. You may get some shutdown issues with this approach on sanlock so if this is more of a home lab and you shutdown a lot sometimes the following helps

systemctl stop ovirt-ha-agent ovirt-ha-broker
systemctl stop vdsmd
systemctl stop sanlock
systemctl stop nfs
systemctl power off

The sanlock will take a while
Sometimes I’ve also had to manually mount the volumes under /rhev/…

YMMV
