Hello Lee,
thanks for sharing your ideas.
In this scenario someone needs to administer the NAS and handle all requests,
right?
In the case you have a little VM which shares the storage then all traffic will
go through this VM and not directly to the storage.
Is there a standard to communicate to different storage systems for managing
volumes/shares?
Regards,
Ingo

I have this requirement for some of the applications deployed in CS too
Workaround solution (of sorts) was to create a Shared Network attached to a
Physical VLAN then hook up a Physical NAS to the same VLAN.
The shared network is bound to a particular account / project so that it can't
be used by everyone
For me part of the attraction of using CS over OpenStack was that you could
craft the network in this way so that you an support applications / deployments
which have physical device requirements or haven't been developed to be 100%
cloudy.
I notice that OpenStack is looking into a shared volume system, I'd also like
the option of doing it 100% inside of CS if it was capable of doing so.
I do recall though that in XenServer ( ESX 4 I think) it wasn't possible to
attach a single volume to multiple machines without significant hacking of the
underlying Python - after which building things like an Oracle RAC / GRID
system or OCFS2 was possible but this is probably out of reach for most users.
Perhaps something like a Virtual NAS VM like the Virtual Routers etc. would be
sufficient - think OpenFiler but inside of CS?

Just use a Unified Storage and export volumes to VMs...

Hi all,
I'd like to discuss my feature request for having shared storage
for several virtual machines controlled by ACS.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7970
Any ideas about this? Are there workarounds which I can used today?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ingo
