You can define a DATABLOCK image that will create an empty disk, you should make it persistent in order to keep your changes. Using the CLI: $ oneimage create datablock.template $ cat datablock.template NAME = "Experiment results" TYPE = DATABLOCK # No PATH set, this image will start as a new empty disk SIZE = 2048 FSTYPE = ext3 PUBLIC = NO PERSISTENT = YES DESCRIPTION = "Storage for my Thesis experiments." Using OCCI: $ occi-storage create datablock.xml $ cat datablock.xml <STORAGE> <NAME>Experiment results</NAME> <DESCRIPTION>Storage for my Thesis experiments.</DESCRIPTION> <TYPE>DATABLOCK</TYPE> <SIZE>2048</SIZE> <FSTYPE>ext3</FSTYPE> <PUBLIC>NO</PUBLIC> <PERSISTENT>YES</PERSITENT> </STORAGE> Hope this helps. > thank you, > > michaël > > -- > > Michaël Van de Borne > R&D Engineer, SOA team, CETIC > Phone: +32 (0)71 49 07 45 Mobile: +32 (0)472 69 57 16, Skype: mikemowgli > www.cetic.be, rue des Frères Wright, 29/3, B-6041 Charleroi > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users@lists.opennebula.org > http://lists.opennebula.org/listinfo.cgi/users-opennebula.org > -- Daniel Molina, Cloud Technology Engineer/Researcher Major Contributor OpenNebula - The Open Source Toolkit for Cloud Computing www.OpenNebula.org | dmol...@opennebula.org _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.opennebula.org http://lists.opennebula.org/listinfo.cgi/users-opennebula.org
