[ovirt-users] iSCSI and multipath deliberation

[Pavel Gashev]

Using this logic, oVirt should detect existing storages instead of attaching/mounting them. The same is for networks. A VM can be placed on any host that has required storage(s) and network(s) attached. Datacenters/clusters would be virtual things.

Pros:
* Flexibility for Linux admins, wider usage
* Less code. Less bugs.
Cons:
* You must be a Linux admin to maintain oVirt instances.
* It’s a step back in RHEV/oVirt functionality. I oVirt would lose users. RedHat would lose customers.

In my opionion the main problem in configuration iscsi and multipath is that the ovirt developers try to start everything automaticaly during installation, and then during start services like vdsmd.
But during installation process adminstrator shoud choose the right multipath WWID identifier only.
And administrator should be responsible for setting multipath and iSCSI properly.
Otherwise ovirt installator does everything automaticaly in the universal way which is weak due to so many storage types.
Howgh :)
