      With the integration you are doing is there provision to designate racks/sites/datacenters/etc so at some level replications can be kept off hosts in the same physical risk space(s)?

        XOSTOR works at the pool level. You can have all your hosts in the pool, or only some of them participating to the HCI (eg 4 hosts with disks used for HCI and others just consuming it). Obviously, it means some hosts without the disks will have to read and write "remotely" on the hosts with the disks. But it might be perfectly acceptable 🙂

          @olivierlambert I've understood that part... what I am wondering is if I have 3 hosts in one data center and 3 hosts in another, and I have asked for redundancy of 3 copies, is there a way to ensure all three copies are never in the same data center all at the same time.

            So I imagine a very low latency between the 2 DCs? One pool with 6 hosts total and 3 per DC right?

            For now, there's no placement preference, we need to discuss with LINBIT about topology.

            And if the 2x DCs are far each other, I would advice to get 2x pools and use 2x XOSTOR total

              @olivierlambert Correct... these DCs are across a campus on private fiber so single digit milliseconds worst case. We've historically had vmware keep 3 data copies and make sure at least one is in a separate DC... that way, when a DC is lost, the HA VMs can restart on the remaining host pool successfully because they have their storage available still.

                So you can create a pool across the 2x DCs no problem. We'll take a deeper look on telling where to replicate to avoid having everything on the same place.

                  This can be done using placement policies as outlined in the LINSTOR users guide. It will probably require a bit of extra work on XO to use those properties

                    Technically, you could use manual CLI call to do it until we expose it in XO 🙂

                      For those that might run across my questions here... there is a nice blog post at Linbit on how to span availability zones correctly to keep your data redundancy up:
                      https://linbit.com/blog/multi-az-replication-using-automatic-placement-rules-in-linstor/

                      So CLI is doable 🙂 GUI would be nice in the future 😁

                          @Jonathon I see no issue in this output, except that you enabled zabbix mirrors which might or might not play a role in your update issue.

                            @stormi If you open a support tunnel and give me the ID in a private chat, I'll have a quick look.

                               You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
                               You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

                                @Jonathon Ok, here's the solution, and the explanation:

                                First, just update xcp-ng-release-linstor. This will update the repository file for linstor-related RPMs to make it point to a newer repository, located at a different place.

                                Then updating the rest of the system will become possible again.

                                  Unfortunately does not look like that works. Unless I am doing something wrong.

                                    Looks like the package is listed twice?

                                      I don't see any duplicates in this output.

                                      ---> Package xcp-ng-linstor.noarch 0:1.0-1.xcpng8.2 will be updated
                                      ---> Package xcp-ng-linstor.noarch 0:1.1-3.xcpng8.2 will be an update
                                      

                                      This lists the current package, then the one which will update it.

                                        The problem was yum cache. If I did yum update right after yum update xcp-ng-release-linstor it would still fail. To get it working right away did the following

                                        yum update xcp-ng-release-linstor
                                        yum clean all
                                        yum update

                                          Some questions about XOSTOR

                                          Storage between the servers is not shared as a large file system like Gluster. Right?
                                          So for example, each 4 hosts has 2TB storage then the max HD space is 2TB (widely) 🙂

                                          Is the NIC speed of the storage network important? Is 2x40G on each server for this overkill?

                                          What software raid on the NVME disks is recommended?

                                            @Chr57 I'm no XOSTOR expert, but AFAIK the total available space will depend on the replication factor.
