Single Host with Access to Multiple Arrays at Different Mount Pots

Submitted by JackB on Sun, 06/05/2016 - 01:36

Hi,

I am trying to do some pre setup of the system before I colocate it, I currently have a single master cloudmin install that will connect to a local host and other host systems (which I will deploy in time as servers come up for renewal).

My question is how do I actually configure cloudmin to allow me to select different mounted raids on the host - For example each server has an M.2 SSD Raid, a SATA SSD Raid and a HDD Raid.

The reason for the M.2 and SATA SSDs are for shared or dedicated disk access and the HDD RAID provides backups.

I am sure it is probably simple but I have just switched from VMware to KVM (yay) so I do need to relearn the interface.

Closed (fixed)

Do you have a different LVM volume group on each of these RAID devices? Or are they mounted as regular filesystems, but at different mount points?

Currently Different LVMs.

Ok, so are you looking for a way to select the LVM (and thus RAID) to use at VM creation time?

You can set a default for the KVM host already, at Host Systems -> KVM Host Systems -> your-host

It doesn't seem to want to let me change that per KVM virtual server. But I will play around with it again.

Oh, so you want to be able to select an LV at VM creation time?

Ok, that's something we really should support. I'll look into adding this...

As a workaround would switching the default each time work?

Or do I need to create manually and then add them?

Yes, changing the default will work as a work-around.

Storage location selection at creation time has been implemented, and will be included in the 9.1 release of Cloudmin.
