yes. usually dubbed "SDM"[1], but has several milestones needed before we get

Great to hear - any clues on a general non committed to rough date?



not yet.

Thanks for pointing this out. I missed a major conceptual point here.

Does this mean you might as well not have any local storage on a node
beyond that to support the hypervisor?


true. until we support mixed storage.
(well, unless you use local storage on all hosts via glusterfs)



How do you move the virtual disks already deployed on one type of storage
to another?  While not common, I could expect this activity to occur as
organizations grow their environment.


export/import (via an NFS export storage domain)

i can understand this for a cluster but not for a dc - What is the
reason to stop having different cluster types within a DC ?



no real reason for either dc or cluster, just legacy

I set up an ovirt 3.1 all-in-one config with Fedora and added one node.
Created virtual machines and so forth.  All seems to work well.

I then decided to add iscsi and can verify that both the ovirt node and
the all-in-one node can 'see' the storage even though it is uninitialized
and does not have a partition table:

# parted /dev/mapper/1IET_00010001 p
Error: /dev/mapper/1IET_00010001: unrecognised disk label
Model: Linux device-mapper (multipath) (dm)
Disk /dev/mapper/1IET_00010001: 52.4GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: unknown
Disk Flags:

 From the OS on both the all-in-one host and the node, I can do 'normal'
iscsi things and storage things without error.

I created a new iscsi domain off the Default datacenter and it comes
up although it says it is unattached.If I attempt to attach it
I get:

There are No Data Centers to which the Storage Domain can be attached.

I'm confused.  What am I missing out of my config to get iscsi added after
the fact?   Or is this something you can only do at installation time?

It seems like this is one of those many things that need to be done in a
certain order to get it to work.

Thanks,

Rick

you still can't mix different types of storage (local/iscsi) in same DC, 
so you need to add another DC for the hosts which will use the iscsi 
storage.
