[Users] oVirt 3.1, Gluster + non-IP storage networks
Hi all, Saw the ongoing thread on oVirt 3.1 and Gluster, discussing how to handle/portray storage networks in the Engine UI. What's the right way to approach this, for people who use non-IP based storage networks? (Infiniband, Fibre Channel, etc).

Do you intend performing all management operations over non-IP based networks? The ability to provision non-IP (read Infiniband/rdma) storage volumes in Gluster will be enabled at a later date. Regards, Vijay

Nope, the Infiniband setup is purely for data transport. :) The nodes and engine boxes have 1Gig ethernet ports as well.

Thanks Vijay. Just making sure. :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

_______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users Right now the built in volume controls only supports IP address on the IP used in storage network. That is likely to change in the future. If you want to use non-IP based one's they can be used you just have to manually configure Glusterfs and just mount the share using posix fs or nfs shares.
Thanks Robert
