Yes, works very well (NFS and iSCSI). cu, Uwe

Thank you Uwe, If it not confidential, you can share this info offline: 1. Is it in production? 2. Can you share details about your FreeNAS installation - hardware used, RAM installed, Type of Disks - SATA, SAS, SSD, network cards used? Do you have SSD for ZIL/L2ARC? 3. The size of your data domain? Number of virtual machines? . Thank you!

Not really, just for testing purposes to provide some kind of shared storage for OVirt. I like FreeNAS, it's a very nice system but for production we use a setup with distributed/mirrored storage that tolerates the loss of a storage device or even a complete server room (Datacore on FC infrastructure). I haven't tested OVirt with Datacore yet, maybe I'll have time and hardware for this next year.

Nothing spectacular: HP microservers or white boxes with 16-32 GB ECC Ram and 4-6 Sata disks (500GB - 2TB), 2x1 Gbit/s (Intel) for iSCSI. The network is the limiting factor, no extra SSDs used/needed. cu, Uwe

Using it here on production since the last 3 years, no problems so far. iscsi and nfs shares. 2 servers on supermicro x10srl with xeon E5-2603 v3 @ 1.60GHz , 128Gb ram each, 2 intel ssd for zil 2 ssd for l2arc, 16 sata disks. using ibm 1015hba's flashed as 'it' mode. I had to tune it a lot to get best performance both on the nodes and on the storage side, sysctl. no rule of tumb. also many changes at hand to get full multipath, failover, queue depth, reqs, io schedulers, etc. network cards, all Intel. regards, 2017-08-15 5:50 GMT-03:00 Latchezar Filtchev <Latcho@aubg.bg>:
Dear oVirt-ers,
Just curious – did someone uses FreeNAS as storage for oVirt. My staging environment is - two virtualization nodes, hosted engine, FreeNAS as storage (iSCSI hosted storage, iSCSI Data(Master) domain and NFS shares as ISO and export domains)
Thank you!
Best,
