Hi Folks, Could someone could suggest me what is the best way to usage FC Storage with oVirt ? Is there any wayt to create DataStorage like "VMware" with Luns? Or need I usage the LUNS as VM disks!? Sorry by compare with VMware, but cyurrently Im using VMware and planning to move to oVirt solution. Regards Carlos __

You can do both, Storage domains based on FC LUNs or FC direct LUNs attached as a VM disk See: https://ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/direct-lun/ https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/install-guide/chap-Configuring_Storage/

Hi Raz, Thanks by info. So oVirt can "format"the Lun and usage it like a "datastore" shared with other nodes? regards Carlos ________________________________ De: Raz Tamir <ratamir@redhat.com> Enviado: terça-feira, 12 de junho de 2018 17:48:07 Para: Carlos Cesario Cc: users Assunto: Re: [ovirt-users] FC Storage On Tue, Jun 12, 2018, 23:39 Carlos Cesario <ccesario@blueit.com.br<mailto:ccesario@blueit.com.br>> wrote: Hi Folks, Could someone could suggest me what is the best way to usage FC Storage with oVirt ?

You basically carve out LUNs to create Storage Domains in oVirt and create virtual disks out of that (the Storage Domain acts like a pool of storage for oVirt use). While there are use cases for direct LUN mapping, it's not the "norm".

am i correct in thinkin a storage domain maps directly to a LUN and is the equivalent to a datastore in vsphere parlance ?

Storage domain is a pool of storage based on a LUN in case of SAN or path in case of NAS storage. A storage domain can be formed based on a 1 or more LUNs. From that storage domain you can create disks to attach to your VMs
