Hi Nitin, My use case will be covered by Edison's new storage plug-in framework that's going in to 4.2. However, we have customers who won't be on that version for some time and have a desire to map a single VM to a single volume/LUN (and/or a single data disk to a single volume/LUN) in current versions of CloudStack.
I have code that I could put into a new CS API that allows these customers to create a volume on our SAN, then create, say, a Storage Repository on XenServer to make use of this volume, then create a Primary Storage in CS to reference this Storage Repository. It would also create a new Compute or Data Disk Offering that is the only one that uses this Primary Storage. Not super ideal...but workable at least until 4.2 is adopted by all of these customers. Talk to you later! Mike On Sun, Mar 17, 2013 at 9:53 AM, Nitin Mehta <nitin.me...@citrix.com> wrote: > Would you mind sharing your use case ?
