> I created a volume on a SAN and connected my one and only ESX host in the cluster to it via CHAP. The iSCSI target was detected and I was able to create a datastore with it (manually through vSphere Client).
> The problem is that the VMware server resource detects this new datastore and automatically introduces it to CloudStack as host-based primary storage.
> This is a problem because it should really be cluster-based primary storage.
> If I were to add another ESX host to this cluster, I don't think it could access this primary storage as it is currently configured in CloudStack.
> The logic to detect if a datastore on an ESX host is local must be somewhat flawed.
> I believe if I had two or more hosts in my cluster and performed this datastore operation that it would not have detected this as host-based primary storage and I would have been able to manually add the datastore to CloudStack as cluster-based primary storage.
