That was the intention but I'm unclear as to which is the better approach. I intended to host all VM related data including OS on the data volumes (split between data on sdb and data2 on sda).. but now it sounds like doing VM os disks on a separate volume could be a better approach after reading th

Hello, Thanks for the feedback. I don't "need" to create only one data domain, I'm more or less trying to confirm whether or not it is proper to configure multiple data domains or if I was mis-understanding the setup procedure. So if I am correct, you are saying that if I have 2 JBOD storage dev

It's nice to know someone else out there has these questions as well. What I'd really like confirmation on is basically this: In a JBOD oVirt HCI configuration with multiple disk devices per host node is it possible to have just one data volume or is it necessary to create multiple data volumes (

Hi James... I'm in sort of the same position... I have 6 JBOD drives in each node. I am unsure if I am going to wind up with 6 data stores. I have 5 nodes and have other problems related to when I add those nodes further complicating the gluster issue. Hopefully someone can help clear this up

There is no difference. I think those names were carried over from previous generations when you had to have an ISO domain for storing ISOs. Now you can store ISOs & VMs in the same volume. ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send
