What's the end goal? A DRBD Storage Domain in oVirt?

Hi Allon,

A DRBD Storage Domain in oVirt is the goal, yes.

Hello all,

A DRBD integration into oVirt is currently being planned.

DRBD provides replicated, highly available block storage. For those
unfamiliar with DRBD more information can be found here:
https://www.drbd.org/en/comp/drbd-linux-driver

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:
https://www.drbd.org/en/comp/drbdmanage

DRBD Manage handles the creation, assignment, etc. of DRBD volumes and is
the interface through which Cinder manages DRBD.

We are looking for advice on how best to have oVirt communicate with DRBD
Manage and we have come to two options:

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.

2) The alternative to Cinder would be to have the oVirt Engine communicate
directly to DRBD Manage via D-Bus.

Any advice on the best way to achieve this would be much appreciated.
