<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hello, guys!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">That can be rather simple question for you, but I can’t quite understand.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For example, we have 2 hardware machines with Ubuntu+KVM+Kilo<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Each machine has 2 TB of local storage<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Shared storage on freenas can be used ONLY for images, not for VMs<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We created a Debian instance on server1, and now we need to attach a 100gb disk to it. And we want this disk to be created on the same server1. It doesn’t really matter what backend we use, lvm\file image\anything else<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Well… it’s easily ca be done by KVM itself with virsh attach-device. But how can we do this via OpenStack services? Cinder will use iscsi even inside single machine (I don’t know whether it will be slower or not) and
we can’t predict what storage server it will use to create disk. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">And I couldn’t find any way to do it inside nova.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
