Hi,
In general, the qemu processi have access to filepath
(/mnt/.../*.raw|.qcow) or block dev (/dev/).
in:
/usr/share/perl5/PVE/QemuServer.pm
sub print_drivedevice_full {
my ($storecfg, $conf, $vmid, $drive, $bridges, $arch,
$machine_type) = @_;
....
$path = PVE::Storage::path($storecfg, $drive->{file});
The path function defined in your plugin or used the default inherited
from PVE/Storage/Plugin.pm)
Depending of your storage, you also have the activate_volume() to
expose the /dev/ on the host for example
activate_storage() to mount a nfs fs for example.
Also, if you use iscsi, it's possible that qemu is mapping an iscsi lun
directly , wihout need to expose it on the host.
(have a look at zfs over iscsi for example)
What is your storage protocol ?

Objet: [pve-devel] Proxmox support - to develop custom storage plugin
Date: 12/03/2024 14:28:22
Hi Team,
I am from an HPE team where we are looking for a POC to use Proxmox as
replacement for VMWare virtualization.
We are able to write small code for custom storage plugin by writing a plugin
file under /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/Custom/HpePlugin.pm.
We are able to connect to our storage and are fetching the list of volumes from
our storage.
The pvesm status command shows plugin as active, see below output:
root@pmvm:~# pvesm status
Name Type Status Total Used Available
%
local dir active 6733592 3761440 2608840
55.86%
prim_220 hpe active 6733592 3761440 2608840
55.86%
root@pmvm:~#
and the pvem list shows below volumes from our storage :
root@pmvm:~# pvesm list three_par
Volid Format Type Size VMID
0 raw images 10 101
1 raw images 80 101
3 raw images 20 101
4 raw images 32 101
5 raw images 100 101
Now we would like to understand the flow how we can map these volumes to create
VMs?
Can someone from team guide us to understand the volume--> to--> VM mapping?
Regards,
Jyotsna
