Jaime,

Thanks for your reply, now datastore 0 and datastore 2 are in existing storage box, mounted in frontend + nodes, we want to move datastore 0 and datastore 2 from existing storage box to frontend + nodes, could it be done?

So in existing storage box just have datastore 1 and in new storage box just have datastore 100.

Rhesa.

Hi,

I don't entirely understand the difference between both options, could you explain in more detail what you mean by distributing the datastore to all the nodes?

Assuming your configuration is as follows: NFS Server exports datastores 0 and 1 -> Mounted in Frontend + Nodes

I recommend the following option:
- Create a new Image datastore (it will have ID >= 100, in this example we will assume it has ID: 100) - Create a new exports directive in your new storage box, for example /storage/datastores/100 - Mount that mountpoint in all the nodes including the frontend in the following path: /var/lib/one/datastores/100

Now you can register more images in the new datastore (ID: 100), and since they are all persistent they will not take space in the system datastore (ID: 0)

Best regards,
Jaime

    Guys,

    We have plan to add a new storage box, Our existing storage :
    /var/lib/one/datastore/0 = system
    /var/lib/one/datastore/1 = image
    /var/lib/one/datastore/2 = file
    All type are from one storage box.

    We did internal discuss and we get result with two options:

    1. We add a new storage box as an image type and define it as
    /var/lib/one/datastore/3 = image2.

    Or

    2. We will distribute /var/lib/one/datastore/0 = system and
    /var/lib/one/datastore/2 = file to all nodes (all node are synced), then
    we add the new storage box as /var/lib/one/datastore/3 = image2
    So with this second option, the nodes only mount two path from the
    storage box (/var/lib/one/datastore/1 = image [from existing storage
    box]  and /var/lib/one/datastore/3 = image2 [from new storage box]). All
    the images are persistent
    Please give us some advise with pros and cons within this two options,
    thanks.

    Rhesa
