Images not shared but remote

Product Support Installation & Configuration

Starting a 7.0 build and want to keep my images with my remote server since my frontend is running on a SBC, will the bridge_list be the way to go the images staying local to that site?

Hello,

By frontend you mean all of OpenNebula (the oned daemon) or just fireedge (the web interface)?

Everything depends on the kind of Image datastore that you are using. BRIDGE_LIST is used when the image source is on a different host than the one running the frontend (oned daemon)

I mean all of opennebula the host are remote site with plenty of storage. I would like the image store to be on the host storage system

There are some options:

  • you can synchronize the disk on all the nodes (drbd, lsync) and use it as a shared datastore
  • you can set up a NFS server on the nodes whose disk you want to use. After that you should mount those on all nodes
  • you can use a distributed file system with all your nodes storage (as far as it has POSIX access) and you can mount it on all the nodes

OpenNebula normally recommends Ceph for this sort of installation
