Re: [ovirt-users] shared storage with iscsi
sorry i am wrong its the data domain that stores virtual disk images,I
have no idea how ovirt shares block device across hosts.Looks like i
need to try that for understanding how its implemented.In case of
vmware they uses vmfs file system for sharing block device among
hosts.I currently have no issues with my NFS shared storage so dont
have any plan to use iscsi,but just curious how the implementation
is.In my existing non ovirt environment,SAN block devices is exported
and its shared using GFS.Is ovirt using any simillar method to achieve
shared block device.

Thanks Gianluca,it says only NFS is supported as export domain.I
believe export domain is the one i am currently using for live
migrating vms across hosts.So iscsi is not supported,please correct me
if i am wrong.Thanks for your help
