Thank you, Granwille for your prompt answer. Can you elaborate on the "locally" and "storage location" terms? On a host that has multiple primary storages (e.g. NFS and some other storage over iSCSI) but no local disks are used, what is considered as 'locally'? Also, by "storage location" do you mean the secondary storage?

This helps with server resource usage. But see attached screenshot for a detailed answer.
