Local All The default paths are:
Š
Physical location: / (root), or /
var/xen/images , which is the
physical location of the VM’s files.
Š
Preferred Path:
var/lib/xen/
images , which is the relative path
from the location to search and
place VM files for moving or
cloning.
Š
Configuration Search Path: /etc/
xen/vm , which is the relative path
from the location to search for VM
configuration files.
The default repository on a host
server. Each host server starts with its
own local repository, which has the
same name as the server’s hostname.
NAS
(Network
Attached
Storage) All. The default paths are:
Š
Physical location: /u , or /mnt/
myshareddisk
, which is the
physical location of the VM’s files.
This is the mount point that is
assumed to be the same on every
host server that has a connection to
this NAS.
Š
Preferred Path: my_vms , which is
the relative path from the location to
search and place VM files for
moving or cloning.
Š
Configuration Search Path:
my_vms
,
saved_vms
, or null (no
path entry), each of which is the
relative path from the location to
search for VM configuration files.
Null specifies to search the whole
mount.
An NFS mount repository that can be
shared, if it is not on a host server.
SAN
(Storage
Area
Network) All N/A A remote storage location that can be
configured as a shared store for VM
images (which can be moved) or a
block-based disk used by a single VM.
It must be configured as either iSCSI
or Fibre Channel. It must also be set to
either iSCSI Qualified Name, NPIV, or
EMC.
The modeling of SAN storage requires
special setup, particularly when
configured as shared storage where,
typically, LUN masks are created for
each of the hosts with visibility to the
SAN.
Virtual VMware
Virtual
Center N/A An externally managed VM’s virtual
disk (VMware Virtual Center), so no
path is required.
