Hi, I was referring to the cloudstack documentation (working with storage -> best practices for primary storage). According to this topic dynamic primary storage is a model where a ccp disk has a one to one matching to a volume in the primary storage. Here is is the abstract from the documentat

Hi Timothy, I do not have exact numbers in my head. This was sort of dumped on to me, but it's clear to me now XenServer will not/cannot use that DAS+SAS conectors as shared storage. I'm sure we'll find some alternative. :) Thanks -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! ww

Hi Lucian, What is your use case for this project, and what are your concerns around network limiting your storage speed? If you put a storage front end server (NFS, iSCSI) on top of the DAS and link up with 10gig networking you should get decent performance - there’s plenty of large scale prod

Nux, You can make your DAS work if it's connected to a single XenServer and is presented as Local Storage. That is good for a single xenserver using localstorage, if you don't have a RAID card you might have hard time doing software raid on xenserver to present all disks as a single storage repo.

Cristian, A VR should get recreated once you start using the network it is serving, i.e. just create a VM on its network. Lucian -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! www.nux.ro - Original Message - > From: "Cristian Ciobanu" > To: users@cloudstack.apache.org >
