Hi,

If I understand your request correctly, say you have two storage backends
with different QoS and you want to use both of them in your OpenStack/XCP
deployment, what you can do is:

1) create SR1 for XCP1 that maps to storage array at QoS1
1a) configure the compute domU for XCP1 to point to SR1,
by specifying sr_matching_filter in your nova.conf accordingly.
2) create SR2 for XCP2 that maps to storage array at QoS2
2a) configure the compute domU for XCP2 to point to SR2,
by specifying sr_matching_filter in your nova.conf accordingly.

You can find more details here:

http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServer/NovaFlags

Obviously this can be extended to multiple nodes; then you can use the
CLI/scheduler filters to redirect the create request to the right host.

That is one way, but there are a few others like  or compute extra
capabilities (Essex) or general host aggregates (Folsom+)

Hope this helps,
Armando
