I'm not sure anyone could give you a "recommended" option for primary storage without knowing more about your requirements and environment, but NFS seems to be fairly common for production usage. For KVM, your storage options are NFS, RDB, CLVM, or SharedMountPoint (which could be any shared file system, eg GFS). > Also, can CS resize the LVM/Qcow/backend when resizing the VM?

Yes, CS can resize volumes, but it doesn't do anything inside the guest to resize the local filesystem/partitions. > If the requested resize needs more resources than the current physical host > can provide, can CS (live) migrate the VM to another one? I'm not aware of any such automatic migration feature. Most of the primary storage options would expose the same shares/LUNs to all the hosts in a cluster, so I'm not sure how often this would come up. - Chris
