The shared storage is mounted in the same place in all the nodes.

The directory structured is as follows:
/var/lib/one/datastores (shared storage)
-- 0 -> link to /one/datastores/0
-- 1
-- 100

/one/datastores/ (local storage)
-- 0
-- 1 -> link to /var/lib/one/datastores/1
-- 100 -> link to /var/lib/one/datastores/100

When a virtual machine is stopped, its delta is stored in /one/datastores/0/$VMID. When another node tries to resume the virtual machine, expects to have in the same place the delta (and some other files, like the checkpoint), but, as it is not in its local disk, it fails.

Same thing happen when a virtual machine is migrated.
I think the TM should be tweaked to be part qcow and part SSH.

If the shared datastore is mounted in the same place in both nodes
there wont be any problem. The base image will be accessible from both
nodes (shared) and the qcow delta is moved to the host.

Javier,
Thanks for your quick reply!
The only problem is that when a stopped virtual machine is resumed from
another host in the cloud (different from which it was stopped), as it
cannot find the deployed (in this case, linked) image and the deltas.

Sure it is possible. You need to have the datastore that holds the
images shared and mount it in every node. Then you'll make the system
datastore(0) local and configure it to use qcow tm drivers. Make sure
that /var/lib/one/datastores/0 is not mounted from the shared storage
in the nodes as this is where the deltas will be written.

Hello,
Is there any way to mix TM in an environment?
We currently have a shared FS with GFS2 using qcow, but when a lot of VMs
are launched, writing changes becomes a I/O bottleneck.
We were thinking of a mixture where the image is shared and the
incremental
changes (qcow) are write locally.

Is it possible?

Thanks
