- we should allow multiple zone-wide primary storages

- only support for KVM with zone-wide primary storage in 4.1. Other hypervisors, like Xenserver and vmware, needs lot of extra work at the hypervisor level.A cluster can have a cluster-specific and zone wide primary storage concurrently

- must support multiple hypervisors (XS/VMware for example) per zone

- upon migration, existing customers with more than 1 cluster per zone must not have any impact – any upgrade process needs to be clearly documented

- During the upgrade, no need to allow promotion of one primary storage to become the zone-wide primary storage;

- Adding zone-wide primary to existing zone will need to be possible

-          In addition to each current primary storage

-          In lieu of current primary – in this case, storage must be migrated manually, prior to deleting the existing primary storage

- Disk offering setting will now have choices for the admin on where the disk will be created – local, cluster-wide or zone-widestorage

 - How to migrate each primary storage data to “new” zone-wide – how can this be less painful - need to be clarified

Design

In the new storage framework, each storage can have its own life cycle, the storage will be not tied to a cluster or a host.
