If you are talking about creating random logical volumes for non-openstack use in the same volume group nova-volume or cinder is using to create volumes (lv are in the same vg but don't otherwise interact), yes you can do that without ocnfusing openstack or having your volumes trampled. For example only having one volume group and using that for operating system partitions as well as volume-<foo> volumes for cinder I don't think it's a particularly good idea from an organizational standpoint I'd rather have distinct vg's for each purpose so it is clear which resources are operating system and which are data, but in my environment (a private computing/research cloud with a small admin group and 1k users in a few 10's of closely related tenents) it's probably more an aesthetic than technical choice. The larger and more diverse your situation the stronger I'd argue for keeping them in seperate VGs. -Jon _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
