Hi Ivan, well, we have already aligned internal, that we will implement handling for additional local storage pools (not now, but in near future). We have also already thought about a very similar workaround as you have described, but with SharedMountPoint (instead of NFS) in Single-Node-Clusters ... those the storage-pool would be direct used as local filesystem/folder by the host ^^

There is one real-life workaround basically: 1. you add a single host to a single cluster (e.g. C1) 2. you export storage pools from the host as NFS filesystems with scope "Cluster" to the same cluster (e.g. C1) 3. tag them appropriately like SSD, HDD, etc. it works, but it's ugly and it has overhead which is introduced by NFS. Multiple local storage pools would be great to have... On Wed, Aug 25, 2021 at 3:43 PM Michael Brußk <m...@mib85.de (mailto:m...@mib85.de)> wrote: Hi Davide, thanks for replay.

This is not possible, since each host has one local SSD- and one HDD-raid, those it can't be mounted from/to other hosts (maybe via NFS, but this would result in a weird design) Regards, Michael -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: David Jumani <david.jum...@shapeblue.com (mailto:david.jum...@shapeblue.com)> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 25.

As per documentation (and observations) when adding a new KVM host to a zone, where "use local storage for client vms" is enabled, CS automatically creates a new filesystem based local storage pool under /var/lib/libvirt/images. We would like to use two additional local storages for different purposes (ssd-raid for realtime/hot data and hdd-raid for archive data) on each host (cluster with upto 8 hosts). We are aware of that live migrations are not functional when using local storage, but we want to use already existing CloudStack installation (and all our processes around) for this special project.
