[ovirt-users] Re: n00b Requesting Some Advice

Hi Matthew, Currently, in order to use Ceph in oVirt you have 2 options: 1. Ceph using ISCSI gateway - regular ISCSI storage domain with Ceph as the storage backend, supports all the regular operations [1]. 2. Using the new Managed Block Storage (Cinderlib integration) technical-preview - Create a Managed Block Storage domain that doesn't support all the operations that we have for the "regular" storage domain you can find more info here [2] and [3]. Each option has its benefits. [1] - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_ceph_storage/3/html... [2] - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/...
