Hi Hayley,
Sounds cool, can you describe in more details the use case, and how do
you think this
can work?
Hi Nir,
The use case is to make replicated block level storage available in oVirt.
VDSM should be able to communicate with DRBD via DRBD Manage, which is a
new administrative layer for the latest release.
Cheers,
Nir
