More disk space for primary storage.
Hi, All,
I found a weird situation here:
1. My cloudstack cluster contains 1 Management Server+7KVM Hypervisor
nodes.
2. 1TB disk is allocated to primary storage on Management Server.
3. Each KVM Hypervisor has 4TB disk space, no manual disk partitions on it.
4. system.vm.use.local.storage=true
5. But found only 2TB size of primary storage on dashboard.
So seems the 7 KVM nodes altogether contribute only 1TB for primary
storage. How to allocate more disk space to primary storage? Any global
settings I did not set? Thanks.
Cheers,
Dan

Dan,
Is the compute offering you are using for your VMs set to use local storage? You will need to create new compute offerings if not and launch your VMs with those offerings.
Cheers,
Carlos

Yes, when I create VMs I specify the compute offering which use local
storage:
$list serviceofferings
name = 4_Cores_2GHz_Local
id = 0bdcefa2-94dd-4a8a-9702-16ce21ef9aa8
...
storagetype = local

The problem is that I can not launch many VMs as the primary storage of 2TB
will be filled quickly. Why the primary storage could not utilize local
storage on hypervisor nodes? Some other global settings?
system.vm.use.local.storage=true
And I have set to use local storage in my compute offering already.
Local storage enabledYes

Local Storage is used for UserVM and SystemVM deployment based on the values set for "system.vm.use.local.storage" and "Local storage enabled". Of course, you need compute offering using local storage as well.

Dan,
Are all the local storage listed in the storage_pool table? If so, what does the capacity_bytes column for these reflect?
In addition, what do you have "Local storage enabled" flag set to for the Zone where the KVM hosts reside?

2. 1TB disk is allocated to primary storage on Management Server.
3. Each KVM Hypervisor has 4TB disk space, no manual disk partitions on it.
