Hi all, I was wondering if someone could clarify the configuration process of setting up a local HDD datastore? We are exploring a tiered storage architecture with Ceph. However, in some cases, the workload is better suited to a local SSD/HDD on a particular host. I’ve setup a ‘System’ target for ‘Images’ on one of my hosts. I setup the base path to be /tmp and it appears to be getting capacity information correctly. Here are the attributes of the datastore I setup for local use: BASE\_PATH /tmp/ BRIDGE\_LIST 10.175.71.160 CLONE\_TARGET SYSTEM DISK\_TYPE FILE DS\_MAD fs LN\_TARGET SYSTEM TM\_MAD ssh TYPE IMAGE\_DS Logs from the VM I tried to launch: Tue Oct 13 17:15:10 2015 [Z0][DiM][I]: New VM state is ACTIVE.

Hi Jeff It seems it’s complaining about a missing file, could you check that both the original file (opennebula-01:/tmp/103/923a58161f57ef623849e7f74cf4559c) and target dir 10.175.71.160:/var/lib/one//datastores/0/2244 exists? Cheers ---

Hi Ruben, The directory exists in /var/lib/one and /tmp. Thanks! ---

Hi, I would like just to clarify: opennebula-01 is the host where the front end (sunstone) is working? what do you get if you run as oneadmin (on the frontend) > su - oneadmin > ssh opennebula-01 ls -la /tmp/103/923a58161f57ef623849e7f74cf4559c Cheers, Anton Todorov ---

I created one datastore, type IMAGE, TM\_MAD ssh. I don’t created other datastore type system. My goal is to use node’s space and not frontend. Soul, I try with TM\_MAD ssh and BRIDGE\_LIST my node(host1) IP. Everything OK when I downloaded images in Marketplace and created templates, but when I try create virtual machines using that templates occurs errors below: Tue Mar 15 18:59:48 2016 [Z0][VM][I]: New state is ACTIVE Tue Mar 15 18:59:48 2016 [Z0][VM][I]: New LCM state is PROLOG Tue Mar 15 18:59:49 2016 [Z0][TM][I]: Command execution fail: /var/lib/one/remotes/tm/ssh/clone frontend:/storage/105/49dc9f4ade78bbcc6d858d71214f7300 host1:/var/lib/one//datastores/0/29/disk.0 29 105 Tue Mar 15 18:59:49 2016 [Z0][TM][I]: clone: Cloning frontend:/storage/105/49dc9f4ade78bbcc6d858d71214f7300 in /var/lib/one/datastores/0/29/disk.0 Tue Mar 15 18:59:49 2016 [Z0][TM][E]: clone: Command “scp -r frontend:/storage/105/49dc9f4ade78bbcc6d858d71214f7300 host1:/var/lib/one//datastores/0/29/disk.0” failed: Warning: Permanently added ‘frontend’ (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
