I’ve the following scenario:

[oneadmin@opennebula01 ~]$ onedatastore list
  ID NAME                SIZE AVAIL CLUSTERS     IMAGES TYPE DS      TM      STAT
   0 system                 - -     0                 0 sys  -       ssh     off
   1 default              40G 88%   0                 0 img  fs      ssh     on
   2 files                40G 88%   0                 0 fil  fs      ssh     on
 100 glusterds             2T 100%  0                 1 sys  -       shared  on
[oneadmin@opennebula01 ~]$

System still uses datastore id 0 for it’s VM’s despite it being disabled. How do I force all new guests to use datastore 100 in that scenario?

Hi Tom,

Use the Scheduler for that.

On Sunstone, open the VM template in update mode, go to “Scheduling” and select the datastore you want under “Datastore Requirements”.

Hey Alex,

Thank you. The forum seems a bit quiet here. Is there another place or mailing list I can use?

I’ve got two other posts but things have been very quiet. One is about a segmentation fault.

Cheers,

Hi Tom,

(We had a few holidays here…)
I’m glad I could help…! (I’m still learning OpenNebula…)

Yes, pretty quiet. I had posts that did not get answers as well.
I only know about this forum…

Because we were in a dare need for help, we end up getting the basic support subscription.

Regards,

Alex

Yes, that actually was very helpful. Thank you.

Was just wondering if there was a better medium such as mailing lists that’s preferrable.

The only other post I really wanted to bring in front of the developers it the one where the OpenNebula app is throwing a Segmentation Fault and is crashing on certain GUI actions. Thinking that might be of interest to the developers here as it’s the most recent OpenNebula version.

Cheers,
Tom
