Hi Simon, Thanks for getting back to me. I created one single NFS share and added it as primary storage. I think I better understand how the storage works, with ACS.
I was able to get HA working with one NFS storage, which is good. However, is there a way to incorporate multiple NFS storage pools and still have the HA functionality? I think something like GlusterFS or Ceph (like Ivan and Dag described) will work better. Thank you Simon, Ivan, and Dag for your assistance!
