Re: Adding Local Storage to Primary Storage
Posted by Rafael del Valle <rv...@privaz.io.INVALID>.
Cristian,
In my case I am moving from OpenNebula to ACS.
ACS seems like a good compromise between being lightweight and capable.
I am happy with Local Storage, it is true that it is a mount-point but I mount a LVM volume there, which can be a raid, multiple drives, etc.
ACS does a good job with Local Storage VM migration (even if not live migration).
For me local storage is best and then the fail tolerance can be provided at a higher level (k8s?, etc)
But my use case is not public cloud, but rather in-house corporate private cloud.

Re: Adding Local Storage to Primary Storage
Posted by Hean Seng <he...@gmail.com>.
I am using 4.14 , and indeed , it need create offering and the tag to
local storage .
I am now using SolusVM for VPS and Virtualizor , Planning to use
Cloudstack or OpenStack, Openstack has too many issue for setting up, and
i forsee it may create a lot of maintenance in future . Thus try out
Cloudstack, and cloudstack is clean.
However, i feels that Cloudstack has very less support for Storage, and
most of newly storage is not support, for example linbit , the only that
best NFS, but sadly say NFS is not really suitable for public cloud where
one Compute Host need to create a lot of VM. Otherwise it will kill the
NFS server with high load.
I am trying share mount point, but it require OCFS2 clustering filesystem,
and ocfs2 now seems only suppport Oracle LInux, but not Redhat/Centos ,
Ubuntu Version has bug.
Otherwise will be bare ISCSI , or CEPH, CEPH is good, but seems need a
lot of server in order to get it up running in productions , at least 3osd
, and 3 mon.
Thus now I am looking back to Local Storage with proper raid setup . But
now issue for local storage is it limited to fix folder , and not LVM block
storage .
The CLVM in Cloudstack is not test yet and not sure if can work .

Re: Adding Local Storage to Primary Storage
Posted by Rafael del Valle <rv...@privaz.io.INVALID>.
Hi Hean, Cristian,
Please also check with version of ACS you use.
In ACS 4.14 I have to create a Compute Offering and Network Offering with Local Storage Enabled.
I think there is no longer a zone setting for user VMs, but there is for SystemVMs.
Here are some settings I am using :
# Global Offerings
- name: Create a 10GB disk offering with local storage
cs_disk_offering:
name: ls-ssd-10gb
display_text: 10GB SSD LS
disk_size: 10
storage_type: local
- name: Create a non-volatile compute service offering with local storage
cs_service_offering:
name: micro-ssd
display_text: Micro LS SSD 512mb 1cpu 500mhz
cpu_number: 1
cpu_speed: 500
memory: 512
storage_type: local
- name: Allow SystemVMs to use local storage on zone 1
cs_configuration:
name: system.vm.use.local.storage
zone: z1
value: "true"
That is all that is required in 4.14.
If you use KVM local storage will be under /var/lib/libvirt.... you might need to setup somthing there.

Re: Adding Local Storage to Primary Storage

Hi Hean,
Either when creating a zone, in the zone creation wizard, while adding the zone details, you must enable usage of local storage for user VM and / or SystemVMs, so as to use local store as a primary storage; or if the zone is already created, you may edit the zone configuration, and enable local store usage for user VMs. For usage of local store for System VMs(after zone deployment) there is a global setting namely, "system.vm.use.local.storage", changing which will require a management server restart. Post these changes, on checking the Primary Storage tab on the UI, you will notice new pools created on each host.
Thanks,
Pearl
