<div>Hi Igor, Vivek,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Apologies for the confusion. This site was put together quite some time ago (between Cactus and Diablo releases) and only took into consideration the nova and swift projects, and has not been updated since that time. Unfortunately, there was no consideration
for nova-volumes, however your assumption is correct that the huge local storage on the compute nodes was for the image download from glance to the compute node, booting the image, and providing some local storage for the instances themselves.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the case of images and snapshots the document makes the assumption that swift was the backend for glance. In this case you would have glance-api and glance-registry running on the controller node with the swift middleware and would follow the swift
portion of the reference architecture. </div>

Hi all!<br>
<br>
I am new to the openstack. I have question regarding to<br>
<a href="http://www.referencearchitecture.org/physical-deployment/" target="_blank">http://www.referencearchitecture.org/physical-deployment/</a> .<br>
This design shown a two controller nodes, one brand iSCSI DAS and a<br>
lot of compute nodes. Controller nodes has small local storages and<br>
connectivity to iSCSI DAS. Compute nodes, according to "Rule of<br>
Thumb): 4 to 8 GB RAM and 1 Spindle Per Core", has a lot of local<br>
spaces each one.<br>
So how work Nova-volumes here? It is running on controller node and<br>
use VG "nova-volumes" which based on disk via attached iSCSI DAS?<br>
After that euca-create-volume create volume and will expose it to the<br>
compute node via iSCSI again? If it is correct, what is the point to<br>
use huge local storages at compute nodes, for boot image of instances<br>
only?<br>
