Hey Nux, I have worked with a DAS before (albeit DELL), it depends on how it is segregated, in my case, I used it for Exchange and it was seen as shared storage. If you are looking for performance, you have 12Gbps in total, but you might want more. What configuration were you looking at? Throu

Well, for such chassis you need server, as Simon wrote, and you may have speed as well if you put couple of 10Gb network cards in it :) Vadim. On 2015-12-08 21:20, Nux! wrote: Vadim, Let's say this http://www.supermicro.co.uk/products/chassis/3U/836/SC836BE2C-R1K03JBOD.cfm [1] plus a LSI

Lucian, As Vadim mentioned, typically DAS is just a drive bay that attaches via SAS to a server. To make it shared storage, you'll then to need expose that storage via another method. One such way would be to run NFS on that server and export it to CloudStack. You could also expose it via ISCS

Nux, It is hard to understand without part number what exactly do you mean? DAS at Supermicro is usually referenced as backplane where you plug HDD-s in. We have such a server with 24 HDD and HBA adapter behind it. But this is just a server with a lot of bays for hard drives. Vadim. On 2015

You'll probably have to expose it via a head unit and deliver it via ISCSI/Fiber Channel or NFS. You then should be able to use it as shared storage. - Si From: Nux! Sent: Tuesday, December 8, 2015 12:49 PM To: Cloudstack Users List Subject: ACS + XenSe
