The Host's storage configuration can be found and managed in Netframe by:
By default, Netframe will come with two storage pools, named iso and local-vm.
iso pool is where you should keep .iso files for installing operating systems on new VMs.local-vm) will be available options for disk storage on VMs.By default, the iso and local-vm pools will use the physical install disk for storage.
It is recommended that the default pools be deleted and replaced with NFS pools.
Important: If you are replacing the default
isopool with an NFS (or other) pool, you must first delete the originalisopool, and then create a new pool with the nameiso
Press the bin icon under Actions
+ Add A Pool button.While Netframe will manage file creation in its standard storage pools, in the case of the iso pool, you will need to manually upload an iso file into it. This can be done by:
Password: (user: <username>)Outside of Netframe:
smb://<netframe's address here>
smb://netframe.mycompany.comWORKGROUPAlternatively, the files can be uploaded via ssh using
scp. The location of all storage pools on your host is/nfpool/pools/<storage pool>
Once the file has finished copying/uploading, you can confirm that it worked in Netframe by clicking on the storage pool's name, which will list its contents.
Netframe Core provides a simplified method for mounting NFS shares as storage pools, accessible through both the GUI and the API. These NFS pools are used to store and manage virtual machine disks and related data.
Any NFS share mounted as a storage pool by Netframe Core must have the no_root_squash option enabled on the NFS server. This setting is required to ensure proper permission handling for VM operations and file ownership within the mounted share.
To ensure reliable performance and compatibility with VM workloads, we recommend the following NFS export settings:
rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,sec=sys
NFS Storage connectivity between storage appliance and Netframe Core hosts should be privisioned over stable, high-throughput capable links that ensure storage I/O has ample bandwidth and priority.
