Performance Checklist
In this lab, you will create a storage domain using NFS and make it available to the data center and cluster.
Outcomes
You should be able to create an NFS-based data storage domain.
This exercise uses the production data center, the clustertwo cluster, and the hostc host.
The NFS traffic uses the storage-net logical network.
The host utility.lab.example.com has been configured as an NFS server.
Log in as the student user on workstation and run the lab storage-review start command.
This command ensures that the users, hosts, clusters, data centers, and networks of the Red Hat Virtualization environment are configured appropriately.
This command also verifies that the NFS share is available.
[student@workstation ~]$lab storage-review start
Create an NFS-based storage domain called nfs-data to function as the data domain in the production data center.
This storage domain should use 172.24.0.8:/exports/data as the NFS export path in the back end for the nfs-data storage domain in the production data center.
The 172.24.0.8 IP address belongs to the storage network.
Using the https://rhvm.lab.example.com URL, log in to the Administration Portal of the Red Hat Virtualization Manager.
The username is admin, the profile is internal, and the password is redhat.
In the web interface, click on the menu bar, and then click from the options that display.
Click .
In the New Domain window, set the values of the fields according to the following table.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Data Center | |
| Domain Function | |
| Storage Type | |
| Hosts to Use | |
| Name | nfs-data |
| Export Path | 172.24.0.8:/exports/data |
Click to create the nfs-data storage domain.
From the Storage Domains page under , verify that the nfs-data storage domain exists, and displays the Active status in the Cross Data Center Status column.
It may take a couple of minutes for the nfs-data storage domain status to transition from Locked to Active.
Sign out as admin from the Administration Portal.
