A DRBD integration into oVirt is currently being planned.<br>
<br>
DRBD provides replicated, highly available block storage. For those unfamiliar with DRBD more information can be found here: <a href="https://www.drbd.org/en/comp/drbd-linux-driver" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.drbd.org/en/comp/drbd-linux-driver</a><br>
<br>
DRBD 9 is the latest version of DRBD and interacts with DRBD Manage which is a daemon exposed via a D-Bus api. More information can be found here: <a href="https://www.drbd.org/en/comp/drbdmanage" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.drbd.org/en/comp/drbdmanage</a><br>
<br>
DRBD Manage handles the creation, assignment, etc. of DRBD volumes and is the interface through which Cinder manages DRBD.<br>
<br>
We are looking for advice on how best to have oVirt communicate with DRBD Manage and we have come to two options:<br>
<br>
1) Use Cinder. Although we are integrated into Cinder, there are concerns about the need to set up a complete Cinder instance to provide access to DRBD.<br>
<br>
2) The alternative to Cinder would be to have the oVirt Engine communicate directly to DRBD Manage via D-Bus.<br>
<br>
Any advice on the best way to achieve this would be much appreciated.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
