We prefer Ceph too and we've got our ovirt instance configured in two different ways. 1. Openstack Cinder, each VM's disk will have a single volume in ceph with all volumes being under the same pool. 2. Export an RBD via NFS from a gateway machine, this can be a trivially small physical or virtual machine that just exports the NFS share that is pointed at whatever RBD you choose to use. Not a direct answer to your question, but hopefully it helps. Regards, Logan On Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 12:55 PM, Yura Poltoratskiy <yurapoltora@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
I want to use Ceph with oVirt in some non standard way. The main idea is to map rbd volume to all computes and to get the same block device, say /dev/foo/bar, across all nodes, and then use "POSIX compliant file systems" option to add Storage Domain.
Am I crazy? If not, what should I do next: create a file system on top of /dev/foo/bar, say XFS, and add DATA Domain as POSIX compliant? Does it work, I mean does oVirt compatible with not clustered file system in this scenario?
Mostly, I want to use rbd like oVirt do with iSCSI storage just to have scalability and high availability (for example, when one storage node failed).
Thanks for advice.
PS. Yes, I know about Gluster but want to use Ceph :)
