I was asking this question at the gpfs forum on Monday at sc, but there didn't seem to be much in how wr could do it.
One of the suggestions was to basically use nfs, or there is the Manilla compnents of Openstack coming, but still that isn't really true gpfs access. I did wonder about virtio, but whether that would work with gpfs passed from the hosting system.

This is not using GPFS for openstack block/image storage - but using GPFS as a "NAS" service, with openstack guest instances as as a "GPFS client". --- Orlando -- -- Dr Orlando Richards Research Facilities (ECDF) Systems Leader Information Services IT Infrastructure Division Tel: 0131 650 4994 skype: orlando.richards The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at gpfsug.org http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at gpfsug.org http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss
