Hey Daniel, I think there is a flag you can put inside nova.conf but I don' recall it...

When setting up my Openstack system I don't recall there being a choice as to where instances would be stored. As it happens, they're in /var/lib/nova/instances. My server is set up such that /home is a 6TB LVM volume, whereas /var/lib lives on the relatively tiny root disk. > > I would like to move all instances into /home/storage/nova/instances. Of course, I would shut down all instances and copy everything to the new location. But how do I convince Nova that things have changed? Also, the various libvirt.xml files have references to /var/lib/nova/instances. Is it a manual process to change these references? Or is there some magical migration command that would fix everything for me? :) > > Thanks, > Daniel > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack > Post to : openstack at lists.launchpad.net > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
