Cinder is the way forward to look at exposing multiple volume types. The Cinder guys should be able to help you with how to get that working: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/volume-type-scheduler
XCP NFS support should be in there soon too: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/xenapi-storage-manager-nfs Let me know if you have specific requirements for some other type of SR. I would be very interested in how we can help you get that working.

Yes basically I want to setup a virtual housing service in the way you can create a machine in sas or sata storage for example. If each nova-compute should point to just one sr (storage kind) of xcp it would be one or the other one (in this example... sas or sata)... Ok then. So you mean the right way of doing this with Openstack is to basically have different nova-computes pointing to different sr and sharing the other properties... Have I understand properly?? That's not exactly what I meant, especially in relation to what is _right_ in OpenStack; I was providing input in relation to the use of the flag you mentioned. Ok so is not perhaps the right way but it's a possibility. 😃 Actually, if you want to support storage at different levels of QoS, Cinder is another project worth looking at. http://wiki.openstack.org/Cinder I'll tale a look at it... Mainly if this gives me the possibilty... A. In the last two paragraph I assume you're just talking about load balancing... Isn't it?? Where did you get that? No I wasn't ;) Because you were talking about where to create vm and how to manage the schwduler iirc 😃 Very thankful for you're time.

You can find more details here: http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServer/NovaFlags Obviously this can be extended to multiple nodes; then you can use the CLI/scheduler filters to redirect the create request to the right host. That is one way, but there are a few others like or compute extra capabilities (Essex) or general host aggregates (Folsom+) Hope this helps, Armando On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 9:34 AM, Egoitz Aurrekoetxea Aurre <ego...@ramattack.net<mailto:ego...@ramattack.net>> wrote: Or unless… If I had to use forcibly the same storage…. for all vm provisioned in a single nova-compute…. is it anyway of saying Openstack to create a vm in a nova-compute or another one… depending on the storage attached to the nova-compute's dom0??
