Hi Just out of curiosity ... Is it possible to use the 3PAR/Primera/Alletra volume (VV) as shared storage for Cloudstack without cluster filesystem (eg. OCFS2)? Currently reviewing CEPH as an alternative because OCFS2 (from Oracle) seems a bit too exotic to me. Kind regards, Pat

GitHub user nickaccuweb added a comment to the discussion: iSCSI overlay for Primera / Alletra Storage MP on CloudStack 4.22.1.1 KVM @dahampere Thank you for sharing the details. I reviewed the overlay, and it appears relevant for CloudStack environments where Primera / Alletra storage is connected to KVM hosts through iSCSI instead of Fibre Channel. The issue is that the default KVM storage scripts mainly rescan Fibre Channel paths, so an iSCSI-presented LUN may not be detected correctly. The overlay changes the discovery process to use the existing iSCSI sessions and also avoids disconnecting the shared iSCSI target during volume detach. Since this is a third-party overlay and not an official CloudStack release, I recommend testing it first before applying it in production. Please share the following so we can confirm whether it matches your environment: - Exact CloudStack version - KVM host OS - Storage model - Whether the hosts are using iSCSI only - Current primary storage provider configuration - Related management-server and KVM agent errors Once I have these details, I can review the safest next step.
