i have a 5 node cluster (not HA yet) thats slowly growing
i've been looking at shared storage without requiring SAN's and am all but settled on sheepdog as an option
2 of my servers are not really adequate for running sheepdog so i want to avoid installing on those nodes and not allow booting of sheepdog based VM's on those servers or creation for that matter
because i currently have to add sheepdog storage direct into /etc/pve/storage.cfg - how do I only allow it to be available on specific nodes as you can do in the GUI when adding normal storage?
initially i'm wanting to do some real world tests with a proper cluster (i don't have enough test devices in the lab) so true HA isn't critical at this stage as i wont be testing failover aspects, just performance and reliability
