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 ISCSI using native tools, or a distro such as Open filer (https://www.openfiler.com) or Free NAS (http://www.freenas.org). - Si ________________________________________ From: Vadim Kimlaychuk <va...@kickcloud.net> Sent: Tuesday, December 8, 2015 1:15 PM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Cc: Nux! Subject: Re: ACS + XenServer + DAS ? 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.
