Oracle VM Server Repositories
7-2 Oracle VM Server User’s Guide
The format of this file is:
uuid options
The uuid parameter is the UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of the repository and
must match the UUID of the repository in the /etc/ovs/repositories file. The options
parameter is list of mount options, as they would appear if the volume were mounted
with mount -o opt1,opt2,opt3. The mount options will be used exactly as listed
in the file until the end of the line.
7.1.3 Adding a Repository
You can add a file system or shared virtual disk as a repository using the makerepo
script. The script takes the parameters:
/usr/lib/ovs/ovs-makerepo source shared description
The source parameter is the block device or NFS path to the file system to be added.
The shared parameter sets whether the file system is to be shared between
computers. Enter a 1 to have the file system shared, or a 0 to make it non-shared. The
description parameter is the text displayed in Oracle VM Manager.
The makerepo script identifies the file system or shared virtual disk as a repository
and updates the repository configuration to enable it.
7.1.4 Removing a Repository
You can remove a repository using the ovs-offlinerepo script. The script takes the
parameters:
/usr/lib/ovs/ovs-offlinerepo [-d] uuid source
The -d flag removes the storage repository from the configuration file. The uuid
parameter is the UUID of the repository. The source parameter is the block device or
NFS path to the file system to be removed.
The ovs-offlinerepo script unmounts a repository and removes it from the
configuration.
