Hi Mihály, I'm sincerely looking forward to seeing this addon and I think it would help to many OpenNebula users.
Do you have anything already done? Maybe I could take a quick look at it and give you some feedback? As a general recommendation I'd like to point out that it would be great if you could reuse code from other DS and TM drivers. cheers, Jaime On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 11:17 PM, Mihály Héder <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > I want to announce my plans to create addon-shared-lvm-single-lock which > would be the current version of the patches detailed here: > http://wiki.opennebula.org/shared_lvm > > In a nutshell: the patch lets OpenNebula to use commercial off the shelf > SANs that are providing a few pre-configured LUN-s as block devices over > iSCSI, AoE or FC. > > The block devices in question are mounted on all the nodes and on the > frontend, too.
