<p class="MsoNormal">Hi list,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am quite new to OpenNebula.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I installed the OpenNebula 4.2 client and configured my VMWare hypervisor. I can create an OpenNebula host which connects to the VMWare hypervisor without problems.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, I can’t seem to get the pre-defined system and image datastores to work with the vmfs datastore type. I set the DATASTORE_LOCATION in the oned.conf file to /vmfs/volumes. SSH access for the oneadmin account is working fine. I also
updated the pre-defined system (0) and image (1) datastores using the correct attribute values for DS_MAD, TM_MAD and BRIDGE_LIST. In the vSphere client, I created VMFS datastores reflecting the datastore id’s 0 and 1.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now the base path of these datastores still points to /var/lib/one/datastores/0 and /var/lib/one/datastores/0 which is not correct.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would think they need to point to /vmfs/volumes/0 and /vmfs/volumes/1?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a way to change this? I could also create additional system and image datastores but I though the system datastore should have id 0. In the vmfs documentation there’s a note that the DATASTORE_LOCATION should be configured before
creating the datastore. However, as the system datastore is auto-created how can one change the DATASTORE_LOCATION before creation?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dirk</p>
