    ;lvcreate_stripes = 1
    
    ;; lvcreate (-I) stripesize (default not set). Numeric value only
    (kilobytes)
    
    ;lvcreate_stripe_size = 512

    (kilobytes)
    
    ;lvcreate_chunk_size = 512

    exclusively on the host node (true\|false)
    
    ;lvcreate_aey = false
    

  • Added option to remove and set exclusive logical volume flags when migrating a KVM virtual server from the GUI using the don't move data option. Settings are available in /usr/local/solusvm/data/config.ini on each slave:
    ;; If migrating virtual servers on shared storage using the don't move
    data option this can ;; be run to give the logical volume the -aey flag
    on the destination
    
    ;lvchange_migrate_destination_exclusive = false
    
    ;; If migrating virtual servers on shared storage using the don't move
    data option this can ;; be run to give the logical volume the -aln flag
    on the source
    
    ;lvchange_migrate_source_exclusive = false
