Yes, it could be a SAN - A block storage attached to compute node. But, it has its pros and cons.

If you want to host 50 vms that have flavor specs 1 vcpu, 2 gb RAM, 10 gb root disk each, you need a compute node with 500 GB instance repository, 72 GB Memory, 16 core CPU. Instead of local repository, you may like to mount /var/lib/nova/instances as an NFS. This way it would be compute node independent and you easily migrate VM instances across compute nodes (in case of failure).

So if this can be done, in my compute node is just run KVM, and no data store that. right? Thanks before. -- Regards, Mahardhika Gilang _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack@lists.openstack.org> Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack -- Regards, Mahardhika Gilang
