Hi Davide,
Apologies, my mistake. Updating the BASE_PATH of a datastore is still
not possible, but will in 4.6 [1]. To correctly use datastore 0 and 1,
you need to set the following in oned.conf:
---
DATASTORE_LOCATION = /vmfs/volumes
DATASTORE_BASE_PATH = /vmfs/volumes
----
Otherwise, DS 0 and 1 will have /var/lib/one as BASE_PATH, and they
won't be fit for ESX usage. There are various solutions to this
problems, the most immediate on is to create two new datastores in
OpenNebula ("100" for system and "101" for images), export them via
NFS and mount them in the ESX host as "100" and "101". Template for
the new datastores:
ds_100.template
------------------------
SHARED="YES"
TM_MAD="vmfs"
TYPE="SYSTEM_DS"
BASE_PATH="/vmfs/volumes"
ds_101.template
------------------------
TM_MAD="vmfs"
DS_MAD="vmfs"
BASE_PATH="/vmfs/volumes"
CLONE_TARGET="SYSTEM"
DISK_TYPE="FILE"
LN_TARGET="NONE"
TYPE="IMAGE_DS"
BRIDGE_LIST="esx-ip"
Let me know if this alleviates the problem.
Regards,
-Tino
