<p class="MsoNormal">Yeah i thought of that way, could it be SAN that attach to /var/lib/nova/instance?
<br>
so in this way swift is just for database / object thing .<br>
thanks so much.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">So, in this case we can't separate them to another server?<br>
so thats mean we need large hardisk for compute node, is that right?<br>

<pre>1. i have compute node and running KVM hypervisor in there, controller node and network node.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>question is, in where data that instance run store? is it on compute node?<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>2. if i want to store all data in separate node let say using swift (swift node), can this happen?<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>3. what is flavor used to store data? i mean when i create instance with selected flavor(ex:10GB), where that space that would be create? in swift node?<o:p></o:p></pre>
