We are doing multipath iSCSI but it was more or less the same process.  You 
would add the storage repo to your XenServer(s) first, then tell CS to use a 
preSetup storage repo and specify the name of the SR you created.  Although it 
may be possible, I would recommend against putting spaces in the SR name, 
otherwise it should be fine.  It's how FC storage is recommended to be mounted 
with CloudStack and XenServer.

Subject: Using Direct Fiber attached storage

I posted this on the forum a few days ago, but haven't gotten any replies, so 
please forgive the double post.

As odd and strange as this may be, our environment isn't really built out to 
use nfs or iscsi, but we have a very extensive fiber network. We've 
traditionally used this for our storage in our current VM environment. We are 
re-architecting our environment using cloudstack but would really like to 
continue to use the direct fiber attached storage. Is it possible? We've 
thought about using some hacktastic ways to trick the system into thinking it's 
using nfs, but really be over san...again hacktastic. I noticed the option to 
add Pre-Setup storage. Would we be able to go add the storage to the Xenserver 
directly, then take and add that to CS? Or is there another way to use direct 
fiber attached storage without going the local disk route and thus loosing the 
HA/live-migration features?

Thanks
