[one-users] Upgrade 4.2 to 4.4: System DS missing

[Ruben S. Montero]

Hi

With the new multi-system ds functionality, it is now required that system
ds is also part of the cluster. So, a VM will be deployed using any of the
system DS in the cluster. In general, this requirement prevents wrong
scheduling configurations.

System DS 0 (along with any system ds not assigned in a cluster) is still
valid but for any host not assigned in a cluster.

Going back to your questions:

Is it not possible anymore to use DS 0 on a cluster?
No, any system ds to be used in a cluster must be part of the cluster

Do I have to create a new system DS?
Yes, simply copy the definition of the working system DS (TM_MAD driver).
Depending on your setup this may or may not any additional configuration on
the nodes.

And if yes, how can I migrate the VMs saved in DS 0 to the new DS?
This cannot be done. If you need to deploy the VMs:
1.- Remove the host from the cluster.
2.- Deploy the VM manually
3.- Save any changes (either shutdown the VM or snapshoting the disk)
4.- Move back the host and deploy the VM using the new DS.


Cheers

Ruben
