Using Managed Block Storage (cinderlib) with a driver that supports NVMe/TCP. Lastest oVirt has the needed changes to configure this. Benny and I tested with Lightbits[1] driver in a virtualized environment. This is basically a POC that may work for you or not, or require more work that you will have to do yourself since not much development is happening now in oVirt. 2. Using the devices via multipath Legacy storage domains are based on multipath. It may be possible to use multipath on top of NVMe devices, and in this case they look like a normal LUN so you can create a storage domain from such devices. oVirt will not handle connections for you, and all the devices must be connected to all nodes at the same time, just like FC/iSCSI LUNs. You will likely not get the performance benefit of NVMe/TCP. 3. Using host devices If what you need is using some devices (which happen to be connected via be NVMe/TCP), maybe you can attach them to a VM directly (using host devices). This gives the best possible performance but no features (snapshots, backup, live migration, live storage migration, etc.) [1] https://www.lightbitslabs.com/ Nir

storage domains (obsolete)

by Geoff O'Callaghan

Hi All, I notice that ISO, Export etc domains report as no longer supported and i'm wondering if anyone would have concerns if I raised a PR to firstly remove those options from the manager UI, leaving the API intact at the moment. At some point we need to pull the bandaid off. Thanks Geoff
