HI, Each host should have its own iSCSI connection to the SAN. That, most likely, implies an iSCSI connection between each host and the SAN. I suppose you could use NFS instead of iSCSI, but I suspect iSCSI would be better. You do NOT want to have host1 have a connection to the SAN and then hosts 2 and 3 access the SAN via host1, because if host1 goes down, then hosts 2 and 3 lose access to storage. Note that you still have a single point of failure: the SAN itself. -derek On Fri, October 31, 2025 9:44 am, provensen--- via Users wrote:

I am new to oVirt, and I am trying to find the right solution for my LAN. On an air-gapped network, I have 3 Dell PowerEdge servers running Alma Linux 9 and 1 IBM SAN. I have 3 iSCSI connections from the IBM SAN to the 3 Dell servers. I am looking to install oVirt as 3 Enterprise Linux hosts on the 3 Dell servers. I need the 3 Enterprise Linux hosts to have shared storage, so all 3 hosts can access all of the virtual machines. I need the storage to have high availability, so if 1 host goes down the virtual machines can run on the other hosts. Which kind of storage do I use for this? NFS, iSCSI, cluster...etc? Also, do I connect the IBM SAN to only 1 host, and share that IBM SAN storage with the other 2 hosts, or would I create 3 separate iSCSI connections to each host? I would really appreciate any assistance from anyone. Thank you. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/WND3JUXGDTNSRS...
