Thank you for your replies .

I would be more than welcome to share the ,speed and testing results on the system, currently we are testing OpenNebula on smaller system and with software iSCSI . One thing we really like is ability to tune system by are need which very neat and opennebula
just does that , many thanks to developers of OpenNebula.

One think that worries me is Fiber Channel support in OpenNebula I was looking for some example implementations of FC and OpenNebula but could not find none in docs for 3.6 http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.6:sm nothint about FC could be found. Only thing I could find is 2.0 docs http://opennebula.org/documentation:archives:rel2.0:features
which say is it supports FC.
Only think I saw is cLVM Jaime Malis and Nicolas Aguis talking about cLVM in 3.6. Does driver cLVM work now with multiple hosts sharing Fiber Channel Storage? Any experience

/ recommendation with FC ?

I highly recommend to build a prototype for your system. You can test hypervisors, transfer drivers etc on 2-3 computers. OpenNebula drivers are written in ruby and bash script that you can customize for your environment. Count in that OpenNebula developers are very helpfull :). You have a lot of options to fine tune your system. For example I changed the image transfer drivers to run on NFS server locally not on the network wich doubled the clone speed. If you setup that system I would be glad to hear your experiences and speed statistics :).

    Hi,
    We are small University located in Belgrade, Serbia ,
    our current information system
    is created mostly of different hardware manufactures,we use
    Citrix Xen Server Free Version  primarily for ability to run on
    bare metal configuration.
    Recently we are in process of buying IBM Blades servers with
    StoreWise V7000 and we would like to
    switch to OpenNebula Cloud , mainly because we use a lot of open
    source technology and
    are budget is tight.
    This is our configuration

IBM BladeCenter 2 x cpu E5-2640 2x 146GB na 15k, 112GB DDR3 two 8Gbps FC 7 pcs




    IBM Storwize V7000 Control Enclosure 16GB cache, 8 x FC ports, 4
    iSCSI port, 24
        1 pcs
    256 GB 2.5-inch SSD HDD     24 pcs
    IBM Storwize V7000 expansion enclosure
        2 pcs
    3TB 3.5 in. 7.2k NL SAS HDD         24 pcs



    Most of our vms/ applications use tomcat, mysql ,lamp, alfresco
    dms ,SAP , windows 2008 server.



    The question is is this configuration good for implementing
    OpenNebula solution?

    Can Front-End run virtualized on kvm or xen nodes   ?

    Does nodes access directly to shared storage iSCSI ?


    Some remarks,recommendation and experience would be nice.


    Thank you Very Very much for the help.

    Branko Tanovic
