You can contact me if you have questions regarding these server - I
use(d) this system in the company I worked before and on customer side.

Attached is a working multipath.conf for RHEV-H 3.0.
You need a working multipath.conf file if you have redundant storage
controllers.

Find out the wwids of your devices and add them to your
blacklist_exceptions section.

# multipath -ll
mpathb (b00015521f5d4) dm-0 Intel,Multi-Flex
size=96G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
|-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=50 status=active
| `- 0:0:0:1 sdb 8:16 active ready running
mpatha (222140001553601d1) dm-1 Intel,Multi-Flex
size=20G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
|-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=50 status=active
| `- 0:0:0:0 sda 8:0  active ready running

Don't forget to persist /etc/multipath.conf if you're using ovirt-node!
With this config you don't need the Intel multipath drivers, btw.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Yes, it is an Intel modular server (I don't know well this platform
but I think IMS is its acronym)
The multipath working configuration would be more than appreciated ;-)
But does this mean there are configuration with dual scsi or is
multipath needed in every case (as I see oVirt config implies
multipath configuration anyway.)

Is this an Intel modular server, btw?
If yes - create a Fibre channel datacenter and add the storage as FC
LUNs. I can also send you a working multipath.conf for Intel Modular if
required...

[Users] Ims shared disks and ovirt storage

2013-04-09 Thread Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I have the chance to work on Intel blades where I have option to confihure
shared disks between them at enclosure level.
Their controller is scsi.
How could I configure as shared storage in ovirt?
I presume neither Fc nor iscsi are possible. .. so what can i do in your
opinion?
Thanks in advance
Gianluca
