Primary Storage algorithm - when having more primary storages

Hi people,

just wondering - if I have 3 primary storages (3 x NFS boxes) - what is the
volume alocation algoritm - is it compelte random, or is it like 1 client's
volume goes always to 1 storage...

Any info appreciated !

Thanks,

RE: Primary Storage algorithm - when having more primary storages

Posted by Prachi Damle <Pr...@citrix.com>.
By Default it is first fit - and that means the first one found with enough capacity. This results in the first one returned by the Db ordering to get allocated first until it has capacity.
One can choose the algorithm using vm.allocation.algorithm as Abhi mentioned.

Following algorithms are used to select storage pool:

random, userconcentratedpod_random: RANDOM
userdispersing: Select on basis of least no of volumes
firstfitleastconsumed: Select on basis of remaining capacity

These values can be set for “vm.allocation.algorithm” global config variable.
