| + | * **shared** | ||
| + | * do not set local storage as shared, because content on each node is different | ||
| + | * One major benefit of storing VMs on shared storage is the ability to live-migrate running machines without any downtime, as all nodes in the cluster have direct access to VM disk images. There is no need to copy VM image data, so live migration is very fast in that case. | ||
