Hi everyone, I’m (trying)using Opennebula with Ceph with RBD. I was configurated Opennebula according with [manual](https://docs.opennebula.org/5.6/deployment/open_cloud_storage_setup/ceph_ds.html), and the Ceph pool is listed in Datastore section. But when I create the VM they is created in host filesystem, not in RBD pool, and not happen nothing error. Do I making any wrong? Can anyone help-me? Edit: I saw that “onevm” returns VM in Ceph pool, but if I check RBD pool the image not exists, and in host filesystem image is present. See: **$ onevm show 106** […] VIRTUAL MACHINE HISTORY SEQ UID REQ HOST ACTION **DS** START TIME PROLOG 0 - - host1 none **102** 12/12 14:56:07 0d 16h55m 0h00m55s […] SCHED\_DS\_REQUIREMENTS="ID=“102"” […] TEMPLATE\_ID=“29” **$ onetemplate show 29** […] SCHED\_DS\_REQUIREMENTS="ID=“102"” **$ onedatastore show 102** DATASTORE 102 INFORMATION ID : 102 NAME : pool1 USER : oneadmin GROUP : oneadmin CLUSTERS : 0 TYPE : SYSTEM DS\_MAD : - TM\_MAD : ceph BASE PATH : /var/lib/one//datastores/102 DISK\_TYPE : RBD STATE : READY ---

I found the problem: I was using images from datastore of filesystem. I created image datastore in same Ceph pool that Opennebula system datastore, and VM was created in Ceph correctly pool. Abstract: If I understand, for use a Ceph pool for system datastore, do you need create an associated image datastore em the same Ceph pool. It is correct? ---

Yes, you need to point both image and system datastores to the same pool. IIRC it mentioned in the manual.
