Installation guide

The non-default location for virtual machine configuration files may be anywhere. The advantage of

using an NFS share or a shared GFS or GFS2 file system is that the administrator does not need to

keep the configuration files in sync across the cluster members. However, it is also permissible to use

a local directory as long as the administrator keeps the contents synchronized somehow cluster-

wide.

In the cluster configuration, virtual machines may reference this non-default location by using the

path attribute of a virtual machine resource. Note that the path attribute is a directory or set of

directories separated by the colon ':' character, not a path to a specific file.

For more information on the attributes of a virtual machine resources, refer to Table C.23, “ Virtual

Machine” .
