Could not find out how to edit my post:
Additional :The 3 hosts are configured as a pool with one Shared storage SR.
Sometimes i bring one of my hosts to a so called LANparty to run some temporary game server VM'sSo that is the reason i also configured some local SR's to bring the GameServer VM''s without having to bring the storage host.
