Re: [ovirt-users] Install oVirt with directly-attached SCSI devices
Hi Paolo,
If your storage is detected by multipathd as a multipath capable device
(it should, even if connected through only one connection), oVirt will
detect it as "fibre channel" storage and selecting that as the storage
type should work.
We use a similar setup (with Dell powervault storage) and haven't had
any problems with it.
Regards,
Rik

Hi all!
My name is Paolo and I'm the sysadmin of the research group (infosec)
where I work.
Recently our infrastructure was updated and I'm planning to use oVirt
as virtualisation manager. The new "toys" they gave me are
- HP DL360G9 (x2)
- HP MSA1040 (double controller with mini SAS connection)
By exploring the oVIrt documentation, seems that the best solution for
storage management would be having something like NSF, iSCSI and so
on. Unfortunately, LUNs exposed by our MSA1040 are recognised by the
two DL36G9 as directly-attached SCSI devices.
I asked Google and I found this old post from the far 2013
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-November/017924.html
that seems to be very similar to my case and the scenario is not rosy... :-(
Is now, in 2016, something changed? Have you something to suggest?
