Hi All,<br><br>I emailed with Kazutaka off-list about this- duplicating here. <br><br><br>Is it required to run a local sheep storage in order to use the sheepdog
qemu block driver? It seems that 'localhost:7000' is hard-coded into
the top of sheepdog.c in the qemu source.<br>
<br>
In order words, how can I tell qemu to talk to a specific IP, instead of
localhost:7000? Is this even a good idea? Is it possible to run 'sheep'
on a dedicated KVM host without allocating any local storage to
sheepdog?<br><br><br>--Kazutaka responded:<br><br>... you can run vms outside the cluster by specifying hostname and port to the vdiname (this is an experimental feature).<br>
<br>
Try<br>
$ qemu sheepdog:[hostname]:[port]:[vdiname]<br><br><br><br>
