Hi, I am trying to setup 3 linstor host HCI cluster with controller HA and storage for cloudstack. I would like to understand whether its possible to create both DB storage-pool and cloudstack storage-pool on the same single physical disk…plz share me any link/doc to refer…

I already tried with 2 physical disk one storage-pool for DB device /dev/sdb and 2nd physical disk /dev/sdc for cloudstack storage pool and is working fine…

Thanks in Advance…

You can use the same `storage-pool` to back the LINSTOR DB as well as CloudStack’s “primary” storage. CloudStack only needs the name of a LINSTOR `resource-group` to use for primary storage. You can create as many `resource-groups` as you’d like that all use the same LINSTOR `storage-pool`.
