Add additional local storage

Hi,

We added a new raid volume as local storage in our nodes that is faster 
than the local storage we have been using so far. We would like to add 
this new "Local-SSD" storage volume but it seems it is not possible 
without replacing the old one. We do not want to replace the default 
/var/lib/libvirt storage, we want to add a new alternative directory for 
faster local storage and choose to deploy between the slow or the fast one.

Is that possible?

Kind regards,

Hi Natalia,

I’ve never done this myself so can’t guarantee for outcome – so please test this in a non-production environment – but it looks like the last tip on the following libvirt docs page outlines what you want to achieve: https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Tips 

Please let us know if you manage to get this working.
