Andrija is spot on here nd in addition once a snapshot chain has started using a particular sec storage all snapshots linked to that VM volume will always use the same sec storage.
New snapshots will randomly select a sec storage and I believe the available capacity is not taken into account - it's truly random Regards Geoff Higginbottom CTO / Cloud Architect D: +44 20 3603 0542<tel:+442036030542> | S: +44 20 3603 0540<tel:+442036030540> | M: +447968161581<tel:+447968161581> geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com<mailto:geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com> | www.shapeblue.com<htp://www.shapeblue.com/> | Twitter:@cloudstackguru<https://twitter.com/#!/cloudstackguru> ShapeBlue Ltd, 53 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London, WC2N 4HS<x-apple-data-detectors://5> On 28 Nov 2014, at 07:57, Andrija Panic <andrija.pa...@gmail.com<mailto:andrija.pa...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi Yohan, if I'm not mistaken, you can not do that this way. The way secondary storage works when you have more than 1 secondary storage NFS - is that l PUBLIC stuff (ISOs, TEMPLATES that are defined as not private) - are replicated across ALL secondary storage NFS servers. Private stuff (that is not defined as public) - so private ISOs, private TEMPLATES, and of course snapshots, are randomly distributed across all secondary storage NFS servers... Hope this clears things.

The space on this secondary storage is approx 60 GB.. I am planning to add a second Secondary Storage to the Zone (NFS : 200 GB) and want to dedicate this new Sec Store as the default place to store the volume snapshots of my instances.. Can this be configured in any way via Cloudstack's Global Settings or via Cloudstack APIs?? Regards, Yohan -- Andrija Pani?
