Hello oVirt users! When I read [1] I got curious how much demand for supporting Ceph we can expect in the near future. So if use it or plan to use it please let us know. Have a nice day, Jirka [1] http://www.redhat.com/about/news/press-archive/2014/4/red-hat-to-acquire-ink...

Personally, I'd love to use it. I haven't used it because it hasn't been part of RedHat's enterprise platform, and didn't want to have to track updates separately, so we went with gluster for all of our storage needs as opposed to a mix of both gluster and ceph where appropriate. </2cents> On Thu, May 1, 2014 at 2:07 AM, Jiri Moskovcak <jmoskovc@redhat.com> wrote:

For the exact same reasons, we did not yet choose which way to go between Ceph and Gluster, wondering which one will lead the market in the next future. But we are strongly willing to use their features, whatever the future mixed enhanced product or name.

Hi all, For my education, how would you like to use Ceph with oVirt? Thanks, Dave. On 05/01/2014 06:17 PM, Nicolas Ecarnot wrote:

Personally, I'd like to see a simple consumer of RBDs. I don't want to manage/monitor/configure/etc my ceph cluster through ovirt. I wouldn't mix storage and virtualization nodes either. I also wouldn't make any assumptions that the ceph cluster is being used exclusively by ovirt. It could be a very large cluster supporting many other things. I've wanted ceph support for quite some time and hopefully with this extra attention we'll get it a bit sooner :)
Thanks, Dave.

Hi Dave, As someone wrote on the mailing list, we would be happy with a filesystem that would not be dedicated to oVirt only, and would not rely on oVirt only, but which could be easily used by oVirt (and managed, and monitored by a web tool). Our main concern is not performance neither huge petabytes, but redundancy, geo replication and _reliability_. We won't have more than 200 VM and not more than 32 hosts, and not more than 100 To of storage, but we would like to know how this could be replicated amongst, say, 6 sites. We still have a long way to go.
Thanks, Dave.

What are the oVirt situations where Gluster works better and conversely, what are the uses where Ceph would work better ? -wk

I'd be interested in having it as an option. Jason

Hi, I didn't use it yet but I would be very interested in using it as a storage backend for running vms. So this news are good, I think :) Looking forward for some ovirt integration. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

We are committed to deploy exactly Ceph (RBD) for several deployments in Bulgaria. [Because, in our humble opinion, Fedora/oVirt/Ceph is the optimal stack for the mass case corporate class datacenters today.] Our pilot project (for a datacenter in a state university) do not have strict deadlines, but we hope to be online before the end of 2014. We will try to contribute back as much as possible - as early adopters feedback or VDSM patches, where we are able to debug and workaround the issues. Kind Regards, Alek
