So anyone willing to help with how to setup hosts to use local storage? As I already wrote to you you have to put the host into maintenance mode in order to be able to configure local storage.

[ovirt-users] oVirt Infiniband Support - Etherrnet vs Infiniband

However, for a little extra of 180Eur you get a 10GBit Infiniband - MCX311A-XCAT. I would like to have quick opinions on this. Should i pay a little more and then get 10MBit instead of 2GBit bonded?

Hi all, I created a vm from a glance fetched template and this vm always run into gpxe priority while it is ordered by harddisk in priority. When I run it once, hard disk is unvailaible because the default disk is no bootable. When making it bootable, it becomes ungreyed and harddisk is is priority but the vm continue to boot to the gpxe.

Infiniband is good for GlusterFS / storage connection but never never never never ever use it as a vm network - believe me it's a nightmare. So you would direct connect your 2 nodes as otherwise you would have to buy an Infiniband switch as well (btw I'm not sure if direct connect is possible, but I guess it is). Keep in mind that Infiniband cables aren't cheap, too. Why don't you go for 10Gbit/s Ethernet?
