Hi list,
Is it possible to use LVM mirroring for FC LUNs in oVirt 4.2?
I've 2 FC storages which do not have a replication functionality. So the idea is to
create a LVM mirror using 1 LUN of storage 1 und 1 LUN of storage 2 for replicating data
between the storages on host level (full RHEL 7.5 not oVirt Node). With e.g. pacemaker and
plain KVM this works fine. Is it possible to have the same setup with oVirt 4.2?
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
René

Are you asking that in relation to support disaster recovery for oVirt
setup?
I'm not sure if it will help you with what you are lookiong for, but have
you tried to look into Gluster Geo replication:

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot for your answer.
It's more HA then disaster recovery. If 1 storage is down, it should be possible to
use the second one without a downtime.
So Geo repolication of Gluster isn't really what we are looking for. The storages are
also located in 2 different buildings with redundant network and FC connections and low
latency.
According to your answer I guess LVM mirroring isn't possible, right?
Do you think using the FC LUNs as Gluster bricks could be a reasonable solution?
We have 2 storages with multiple LUNs, 4 oVirt hosts and 2 atm non used hosts, so a
distributed replicated volume with arbiter or replicated with arbiter could also be
possible to replicated the 2 storages, I think.
But I'm concerned about performance, as I don't have good experience with Gluster
on VMware when using 1 VMDK (hosted on a NetApp storage with 10K SAS disks), but good
experience with Gluster when using 12 (or 24) local SATA disks in a host. So I fear that 1
LUN from a storage (ZFS storage with a pool of many disks) is not as good as 12 local
disks in a storage.

Thanks a lot.
