Hi, It may not be the way to go to have storage on physical hosts, but that is the situation I have here today. I am struggling to get Opennebula to work with a shared storage. We do not have a high end San, so I want to use the disks of the physical machines. I added the host to the configuration, but the storage (3T) is not shown. I am trying to set it up like this. [http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/administration/storage/fs\_lvm\_ds.html](http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/administration/storage/fs_lvm_ds.html) It says id 0 system and 1 default should be shared. I changed /etc/oned.conf and changed shared=no to yes. ID NAME SIZE AVAIL CLUSTERS IMAGES TYPE DS TM STAT 0 system 121.3G 93% 0 0 sys - fs\_lvm on 1 default 121.3G 93% 0 2 img fs ssh on 2 files 121.3G 93% 0 0 fil fs ssh on 100 production 14.5G 82% 0 0 img fs fs\_lvm on I tried onedatastore update 0 system\_ds\_0.conf oneadmin@oneadmpren01:~$ cat system\_ds\_0.conf ALLOW\_ORPHANS=NO DISK\_TYPE=FILE DS\_MIGRATE=YES RESTRICTED\_DIRS=/ SAFE\_DIRS=/var/tmp SHARED=YES TM\_MAD=fs\_lvm TYPE=SYSTEM\_DS #DISK\_TYPE=block But still not shared Where did I go wrong? Kind regards, Martin. ---

The guide you mention assumes clvm. The simplest options is to use nfs, documented in the old quick start guides [http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/design\_and\_installation/quick\_starts/qs\_ubuntu\_kvm.html](http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/design_and_installation/quick_starts/qs_ubuntu_kvm.html) and in case of debugging needed see [Unable to instanciate VM on a fresh installed system](https://forum.opennebula.io/t/unable-to-instanciate-vm-on-a-fresh-installed-system/4929) ---

Dear Marc, Thank you, it is useful to consider nfs, a beauty of a protocol. I now have it working with ssh, nfs is not an option within our security minded management. Kind regards, Martin.
