--------- <br>
* Deepak C Shetty is working with IBM's Linux Technology Center
(LTC), <br>
Bangalore, India, in the area of Open Virtualization. Earlier he
has <br>
worked in area of Virtualization aware File Systems. Prior to
being part <br>
of LTC, Deepak worked in the areas of Platform Management (IBM
Systems <br>
Director product) and Hardware Validation of IBM Power systems,
in IBM . <br>
Deepak holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electronics
from Pune <br>
University, India and Diploma in Advanced Computing from C-DAC,
Pune, India. <br>
Other areas of interest include software design and stamp
collection <br>
(philately). <br>
<br>
* Harsh Prateek Bora is working at IBM's Linux Technology Center
(LTC) as <br>
an open source developer having interest in the Virtualization
stack in <br>
Linux. He has contributed to Qemu, Libvirt and fs/9p for the
development <br>
of VirtFS (Qemu/KVM based virtualization aware file-system
passthrough) <br>
beside various other projects. Before joining IBM, He has worked
at <br>
Honeywell Aerospace for the development of embedded software for
an <br>
aircraft gadget (Apex Edge KSN 770). Currently at IBM LTC, He
works for Linux <br>
RAS team improving VPD (Vital Product Data) tools for Power PC
arch based <br>
hardware. He is working on providing support for Qemu-Gluster
storage backend <br>
in Libvirt out of his personal interest. <br>

Abstract Title <br>
--------------- <br>
Integrating GlusterFS as a storage domain in VDSM and supporting
storage <br>
array offloads from VDSM <br>
<br>
Abstract <br>
-------- <br>
This talk will focus on 2 aspects: <br>
<br>
* GlusterFS as a storage domain in VDSM - WIP - ~30min. <br>
<pre wrap=""> This presentation will discuss the challenges in integrating GlusterFS
as storage domain in VDSM, the different approaches taken and the pros and
cons. The new GlusterFS storage domain is necessary to support the native
integration of GlusterFS in QEMU. This talk will also touch upon the Gluster
enablements needed in libvirt and QEMU for VDSM to consume GlusterFS as a storage
domain. This work is part of the bigger goal of positioning GlusterFS as a
storage/Filesystem backend for QEMU in the Open Virtualization stack.

* Enabling storage array offloads via libStorageMgmt (libSM) -
WIP - ~10min. <br>
<br>
Goal of this work is to provide a framework in VDSM to
exploit storage array <br>
offload features via libSM. libSM is an open-source project
which provides vendor <br>
agnostic API for managing external storage arrays. The initial
proposal on <br>
integrating libSM with VDSM has been discussed on the VDSM list.
This talk will <br>
touch upon libSM and its capabilties, VDSM-libSM integration
goals, approaches, <br>
advantages, challenges, current status& future work. <br>

<br>
<br>
Total time anticipated is 45 min - 40 min for the talk and 5 min
for Q&A. <br>
Deepak & Harsh will be co-presenting in this talk. <br>
<br>
Virtualization and Storage administrators, oVirt/VDSM developers
as well <br>
as users of KVM virtualization will benefit from this talk. <br>
