Wido, This is a great idea!
Can you do us all a favor (well, David and whomever is going to help him on Wiki migrations) and put this in the ASF wiki instead? - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/ As for other HVs, I think that VMware shouldn't be a problem for those stats. It might depend on the version, but I believe they are available. You can at least get IOPS out of it. -chip On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 11:23 AM, Wido den Hollander <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've been thinking about this for a couple of months while working on RBD. > > In public clouds it's very important to know which user is (ab)using your > storage, so I figured it could be useful if CloudStack would also support > disk I/O polling. > > On the Wiki I started with a document about this: > http://wiki.cloudstack.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=11830451 > > I only have experience with KVM, so I'm not sure if and how other > Hypervisors support this. > > For KVM it seems the implementation is rather simple, but I rather not make > this a KVM-only feature. > > The first steps will be to lay the groundwork in CloudStack and the polling > for disk IOps and then implement it per Hypervisor. > > I'd like some input on other Hypervisors to get a better picture of what has > to be done. > > Comments and flames are welcome :) > > Wido >
