Re: snapshot.backup.rightafter parameter problem for RBD Storage

[Dag Sonstebo <Da...@shapeblue.com>]

Hi Özhan,

to my knowledge (list members please correct me if I¹m wrong) the KVM HA
data will be stored on primary storage even when you use Ceph/RBD, not on
secondary storage NFS. I would also guess that it uses the first primary
storage pool added for this. I am not aware of any way to define where the
KVMHA folder is created.

You can add multiple secondary storage NFS servers - but there is no way
to control where snapshots are written.

All in all it sounds to me like you need to make sure your network
connectivity can handle the storage load, i.e. segregate primary storage
traffic, secondary storage traffic and management traffic to ensure I/O
bottlenecks don¹t take your CloudStack infrastructure offline.

Regards,
Dag Sonstebo
