10. In a new cluster, CloudPlatform adds the first primary storage server for you. You can always add
more servers later. For an overview of what primary storage is, see Section 3.6, “About Primary
Storage”.
To configure the first primary storage server, enter the following, then click Next:
•Name. The name of the storage device.
•Protocol. For XenServer, choose either NFS, iSCSI, or PreSetup. For KVM, choose NFS or
SharedMountPoint. For vSphere choose either VMFS (iSCSI or FiberChannel) or NFS. The
remaining fields in the screen vary depending on what you choose here.
NFS • Server. The IP address or DNS name of the storage device.
•Path. The exported path from the server.
•Tags (optional). The comma-separated list of tags for this
storage device. It should be an equivalent set or superset of
the tags on your disk offerings.
The tag sets on primary storage across clusters in a Zone
must be identical. For example, if cluster A provides primary
storage that has tags T1 and T2, all other clusters in the Zone
must also provide primary storage that has tags T1 and T2.
iSCSI • Server. The IP address or DNS name of the storage device.
•Target IQN. The IQN of the target. For example,
iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:01ec9bb549-1271378984.
•Lun. The LUN number. For example, 3.
•Tags (optional). The comma-separated list of tags for this
storage device. It should be an equivalent set or superset of
the tags on your disk offerings.
The tag sets on primary storage across clusters in a Zone
must be identical. For example, if cluster A provides primary
storage that has tags T1 and T2, all other clusters in the Zone
must also provide primary storage that has tags T1 and T2.
preSetup • Server. The IP address or DNS name of the storage device.
•SR Name-Label. Enter the name-label of the SR that has
been set up outside CloudPlatform.
•Tags (optional). The comma-separated list of tags for this
storage device. It should be an equivalent set or superset of
the tags on your disk offerings.
The tag sets on primary storage across clusters in a Zone
must be identical. For example, if cluster A provides primary
storage that has tags T1 and T2, all other clusters in the Zone
must also provide primary storage that has tags T1 and T2.
