My question is related to the local storage aspect.<br><br>From what I've seen, I can use a local datastore and the ssh TM to accomplish local storage. The drawback that I see is that I need 2x the amount of disk space because I need storage for the permanent image on the controller node, then storage on the local host for the running image when it is deployed. A secondary issue for me is that the images have to be transferred between the datastore and the host machine, which will take some time with larger images.<br><br>To get around the problem, I thought I could set the datastore up as a shared filesystem, except the sharing would actually be from the host machine to the controller machine via NFS. Is there any particular reason(s) that would be a bad idea? On the surface it seems like it should work just fine, but I'm somewhat new to ONE and want to be sure I'm not going down a bad path since I plan to do this with several host machines.<br><br>Thanks in advance for any advice.<br><br>gary<br><br></div></body></html>
