Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt 3.6 with ScaleIO

Has anyone gotten an oVirt hosted engine and shared storage

running with ScaleIO as the backing storage?
I was thinking that I would just set up iSCSI LUNs in ScaleIO and have
oVirt point directly to one for the hosted engine setup. From there, my
plan was to assign disks to VMs as direct LUNs.
Unfortunately, it looks like ScaleIO dropped iSCSI support at around
version 1.32 and I'm at a loss as to how I can expose ScaleIO LUNs to oVirt.
Thank you,

I don't know much of ScaleIO, but at least since Liberty release it can be
configured as a cinder backend driver in Openstack
http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/config-reference/content/ScaleIO-cinder...
http://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/config-reference/block-storage/drivers/e...
So the more "natural" way that comes to mind is to interface oVirt with
cinder and configure ScaleIO in cinder in similar way as with Ceph backend
http://old.ovirt.org/Features/Cinder_Integration
But this implies configuring Openstack too and also I don't know how the
security part (see ceph authentication in above link), if present in
ScaleIO, could be managed
