Hi, just to clarify, you mean in addition to the rbd mirroring you want to have another sync of different VMs between those clusters (potentially within the same pools) or are you looking for one option only? Please clarify. Anyway, I would use dedicated pools for rbd mirroring and then add more pools for different use-cases. Regards, Eugen Zitat von wodel youchi <wodel.youchi(a)gmail.com>om>:

Hi, the question is if both sites are used as primary clusters from different clients or if it's for disaster recovery only (site1 fails, make site2 primary). If both clusters are used independently with different clients I would prefer to separate the pools, so this option: That means for images in poolA site1 is the primary site while site2 is the backup site. And for images in poolB site2 is the primary site.
