Hello list, I was wondering if any one could tell me if a Dell MD1400 Direct Attached Storage unit is suitable for shared storage between ovirt hosts? I really don't want to buy something that isn't going to work :) Regards, Brett

If the model can be shared between two hosts (I remember the old PVs having this option as an alternative to a split backplane) then potentially you should be able to detect the shared volume with multipath and oVirt should be able to pick it up as FC storage On Mon, Mar 21, 2016 at 7:34 AM, InterNetX - Juergen Gotteswinter < jg@internetx.com> wrote:

An MD1400 should be a JBOD and probably not what you want. An MD3400 should work fine though. We use MD3200s with SAS switches and treat them as FC storage with no trouble. On 3/21/2016 5:50 AM, Maton, Brett wrote:
