Thanks for the advice. Actually Im not planning on using block volumes at all 
but its nice to know how everything plugs together.

Could you tell me what would be the best way to attach NFS filers as shared 
storage? I am planning on running glusterfs on the hypervisors and then sharing 
that back to the hypervisors (If that makes sense). Do you have some tips for 
such a setup?

Thanks,

Andrew
