I have an ovirt 3.5 cluster set up with three el7 hosts. Storage is provid=
ed by two Fedora 20 machines and the connection is via multipath iscsi.=0AT=
he performance is quite good. The Fedora 20 iscsi targets are using the 't=
arget' (ie: lio) framework, which support the various t.10 scsi offloads. =
Vmware supports a subset of these called VAAI and Microsoft has a subset ca=
lled ODX.=0ACloning is one if the t.10 extensions that the lio target frame=
work supports.=0A=0AI just tried cloning a vm and noticed that during the p=
rocess there is a lof of traffic over the iscsi interfaces on the Storage P=
ool Manager host and the iscsi target machine.=0AWith proper support for t.=
10 cloning I shoudn't see any traffic on the isci links (or very minimal tr=
affic)=0A=0AIs there some way to enable the storage offload functionality i=
n Ovirt?=0AIf not, is this on the VDSM roadmap? If support were worked in =
this should be able to be applied to FCP connections as well. The lio targ=
et supports these offloads when acting as a Fiber Channel target also.=0A=
=0A=0AI've asked this sometime back but there hasn't been much in the way o=
f discussion on this users list or the devel list about this feature.
