Re: [ovirt-users] fileserver as a guest oVirt

--=-QO4YC7yJVpEFWdlCUWRr Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, just add my 2ct: I did a lot of bench marking for our SAN (FC LUN's). I also need file servers for our SMB Clients. I recommend using Direct Attached LUNs for your purpose and attach them to the VMs as VirtIO-SCSI disks. You can even added them as shareable to oVirt if you deploy some kind of SAN file system (we use Quantum's StorNext). Bottom line, the implementation of VirtIO-SCSI is so well done and support in oVirt is great. I cound not see any bottlenecks in the visualization. For the foreseeable future I will not deploy bare metal file Servers again.
