It is clear that we need at least one working NFS primary storage for system VMs and routers. We can add additional primary storage (eg Gluster) after we have working zone with NFS based primary storage. After this if we need new VMs to be created on gluster based primary storage by-default then we need to do the following:

  1. Go to primary storage where VMs should get deployed by default and add appropriate tags (eg gluster)
  2. Create a new compute offering with desired parameters (Custom / Specific RAM/CPU and mention the same tag as specified in primary storage).
  3. If you need additional data disks also to be created on the specific primary storage then create disk offerings with matching tags so that if any additional data disks are created, they will also go to specific primary storage.
  4. Create a test VM with a test data disk and validate that they are getting created on desired primary storage.
