Understood, and you are right. KVM + iSCSI/shared mount point (requires clustered file system), is, from my POV, a no-go for production (it's different with VMware and XenSeverm whos's support for such thing is excellent/for production use) On Fri, 5 Mar 2021 at 09:37, Pieter Koorts wrote: > Un

Unless CloudStack has a way to automatically attach iSCSI storage to each virtual machine directly then a clustered filesystem (C-LVM or OCFS2) is needed to store the VM data as it is the only way to have all compute hosts to have access to the same data for live migrations and HA when using iS

Struggling to understand why you are mentioning a clustered filesystem on Linux? (but I do agree all of them are to be avoided, 99% of the time) On Tue, 2 Mar 2021 at 17:25, Pieter Koorts wrote: > We currently use Hyper-V with an iSCSI SAN since Hyper-V does excellent at > fast shared storage wi

We currently use Hyper-V with an iSCSI SAN since Hyper-V does excellent at fast shared storage with Windows CSV. The system is reliable but very inflexible to changes in strategies when deploying workloads. Moving to Linux as a hypervisor isn't too much of an issue as we do use Ubuntu 20.x f

It goes without saying that once a big company get's interest in i.e. Hyper-V and sponsors the needed development - that is usually a time when such a huge feature goes in ACS. Do you need any recommendations from real-life on what to go with, in the CloudStack world? Best, On Tue, 2 Mar 2021 at

That is a pity. Hyper-V Server 2019 for example is excellent with great enterprise software support like backup facilities, clustered filesystem (iSCSI SAN's, etc). Suppose unless there is traction like with OpenStack (with Hyper-V support), getting the time and developers to deal with it in

Unfortunately, I don't thinking CloudStack actually supports (in reality) hyper-v any more - there was the original implementation for Hyper V 2012, but not sure it works any more, at all (and the "VM import" option is available only for VMware, not any other hypervisor, atm) Best, On Wed, 24 Feb

CloudStack on existing hyper-v cluster

2021-02-24 Thread Pieter Koorts
Been searching a myriad of places but can't find any concrete information about this. From what I understand CloudStack can be implemented on top of an existing vSphere installation and machines imported into CloudStacks control. Is the same thing possible on a Hyper-V cluster by chance? Th
