Multiple local storage pools?
Hi guys,
Do you know how it would be possible to add multiple local primary storage pools? I know that if local storage is enabled /var/lib/libvirt/images (in KVM's case) is added automatically.
But assuming I want to add an SSD or SATA array to this host and want to differentiate it within cloudstack, how should I go about it?

I think there are more things tying into the DB for storage, merely adding one more entry would probably just break stuff.
I wouldn't dare to try it, thanks for trying to help though. :-)

Might be a stupid suggestion - but adding one more record inside database,
storage_pools table - would that work ?

Thanks, Marcus.
I was eyeing shared mountpoint as well, but was hoping for something better. I guess it will have to do.
Cheers :)

Not directly, but one way you could make this happen would be to create a
'sharedmountpoint' primary storage, and use tags to ensure that it doesn't
try to use that storage on any host other than the desired one.
Sharedmountpoint is basically telling CS that you have done the work of
mounting a clustered filesystem in a specific place.
For example, set the host with tag 'host1', the storage with tag
'host1ssd', and create a service offering with both storage tag and host
tag to select that combination. Kind of a hack, but it should work.

Andrija, but I want a more straight forward way to use the SSDs. ZFS I'm sure it's awesome, but it would just complicate my setup. Thanks though.

Lucian, don't relly have the answer - but did you maybe consider ZFS on
Linux, mounted on /var/lib/libvirt/images/ - there you can add SSD for
writings and perhaps read cache (SLOG for writes and L2ARC for readings) ?
