Hello,
I have an installation of OpenNebula 3.0 with Xen Hypervisor and a storage with MooseFS. The OpenNebula server is also the MooseFS master server; obviously we have a second OpenNebula/MooseFS slave server configured with uCarp for HA. At the moment we have 3 storage nodes, every server is equiped with 2x 2TB SATA disks for a total of 11 TB disk space; we use a replica factor of 2. On OpenNebula side, we use shared storage driver; the VM disks are plain files, Xen driver is "file:" In past we used OpenNebula 2.2 with MooseFS driver for immediate deployment via snapshot, but the driver wasn't updated to OpenNebula 3.0.

We are very happy with MooseFS: it's very easy and robust. The only consideration is on disk side: SATA is a little slow expecially in write operation, then we use a lot of RAM on each storage server (8 GB) to cache data.

If you want, on my personal blog (http://www.azns.it) there are many configuration examples of OpenNebula/MooseFS/uCarp. Sorry they are in italian

Bye,
Alberto

Hello all,

We're looking into the possibility of using a distributed FS, like glusterfs or similar solution for the image repository

Can anyone share his experiences on this topic? any hints would be nice... Existing specific documentation? REcommendend configurations? Tested configurations? Things to watch out for? Things particular to open-nebula? Problems? Stability (is it maintainable without a general shutdown)? Effort/learning curve ("large", "small", hours, days, weeks)? Any other information?

Thanks any way, best regards,
João
