1. Allow people add whatever storages into cloudstack in one zone, host-wide or cluster-wide, or zone-wide doesn't matter. AddPrimaryDataStore API will allow user specify the scope. 2. How to use this storages? It depends on storage allocator and host allocator, also the service offering(tags). > > If that were the case, when a user requests a data volume, must there be an > option to choose or how will the allocation work?
