Before you create a storage repository, make sure that these requirements are met:
(NFS) File server repository: At least one (NFS) file server must be discovered. The file server must be accessible to all Oracle VM Servers that are to use it. The file server directory must be writeable.
(LUN) Storage array repository: The storage array must be accessible to all of the Oracle VM Servers that are to use it. The array server directory must be writeable. A server pool must exist with clustering enabled, and at least one Oracle VM Server must be present in the server pool. By design, a storage repository on a LUN is linked to a clustered server pool because of the nature of the OCFS2 file system it uses.
A repository on a local server storage also belongs in this category, since local disks are always discovered as LUNs. For more information about local storage, see Section 3.2.1, “Local Storage”.
Only file server storage repositories can be shared by multiple server pools.
