This storage configuration assumes that your Hosts can access and mount a shared volume located on a NAS (Network Attached Storage) server. You will use this shared volumes to store VM disk images files. The Virtual Machines will boot also from the shared volume.

The scalability of this solution is bounded to the performance of your NAS server. However you can use multiple NAS server simultaneously to improve the scalability of your OpenNebula cloud. The use of multiple NFS/NAS datastores will let you:

Using an NFS/NAS Datastore provides a straightforward solution for implementing thin provisioning for VMs, which is enabled by default when using the **qcow2** image format.
Simply mount the **Image** Datastore directory in the Front-end in ``/var/lib/one/datastores/<datastore_id>``. Note that if all the Datastores are of the same type you can mount the whole ``/var/lib/one/datastores`` directory.

.. note:: The Front-end only needs to mount the Image Datastores and **not** the System Datastores.

.. note:: **NFS volumes mount tips**. The following options are recommended to mount NFS shares:``soft, intr, rsize=32768, wsize=32768``. With the documented configuration of libvirt/kvm the image files are accessed as ``oneadmin`` user. If the files must be read by ``root``, the option ``no_root_squash`` must be added.
