Hi,
Can you run these commands and send us the output:
(in OpenNebula frontend)
$ for i in /var/lib/one/datastores/{,*}; do echo $i; df -h $i; done
(in a KVM hypervisor)
$ for i in /var/lib/one/datastores/{,*}; do echo $i; df -h $i; done
Also, what OpenNebula version do you have currently installed? (Distro and
package version)
Answering your questions:
how can system datastore move from frontend to kvm? Can it be moved
manually?
By default OpenNebula assumes that the default system datastore:
/var/lib/one/datastores/0 is shared accross all the nodes using a
distributed file system. It can be set up as local to the hypervisors by
changing the TM_MAD of the system datastore to 'ssh' instead of 'shared'.
what is the system datastore used for?
To hold volatile disks (swap disks etc created on the fly not associated
for an Image), to hold vm checkpoints for migrations/suspends and primarily
stores cloned disks.
wouldn't it be better if system datastore be placed on ceph and is it
possible that it can be placed on ceph?
It can be placed on CephFS, yes. As long as you setup a shared filesystem
accross all the nodes, including frontend of /var/lib/one/datastores/0 it
doesn't really matter what technology you're using: NFS, CephFS, GlusterFS,
etc...
cheers,
Jaime

Hi,
Again, does anybody has some ideas about this. We need to recreate all
VM's and it is not solution for production environment (good that it was
just a begining of migration from XenServer) .
Here are the steps we did:
- no machine can be run because ON says that system data store is full
(it shows it has 500GB instead of 7GB),
- we stopped all the VM's and then restarted frontend - it did not
helped
- the we restarted kvm - it did not helped
- we deleted this 500GB /var/tmp/8d187572e1d5ec159420701f9177150c file
- again machines were unable to start
- so we deleted VMs and created them again - good they had a template,
but unfortunately now the VM's got new IP addresses so it blocked access to
them from outside world due to firewall rules
- now after above steps system datastore has magically moved to
frontend and has again correct capacity of 7GB
So the questions now:
- how can system datastore move from frontend to kvm? Can it be moved
manually?
- what is the system datastore used for?
- wouldn't it be better if system datastore be placed on ceph and is
it possible that it can be placed on ceph?

Hi,
I run some VM's on OpenNebula, but after few machines system datastore
are full. As Image backend we are using ceph datastore (and there is
enough disk space), but system datastore is probably from kvm host, from
file /var/tmp/8d187572e1d5ec159420701f9177150c.
How can I make some free space? It is possible to move system datastore
on Ceph?
