PVE+ISCSI

[Jianming]

Hello Everyone

I have three nodes and Dell ME storage.
ME only use the iSCSI protocol.
if PVE cluster mount iscsi, can not use thin-provision.
Dell ME storage unable to configure ZFS over ISCSI.

So any suggestion ? my cluster mount the iscsi, can use thin-provision and snapshot ?


thanks everyone

Hi @Jianming , you can now use PVE with iSCSI storage with LVM overlay and snapshots.
However, thin provisioning will need to come from the array at this point in time.

Please write your Dell representative and ask them for proper PVE support. The more people ask this, maybe they'll work something out. Unless this happens and maybe hell frozes over, I fully agree with @bbgeek17.

Has anyone configured GFS2 or OCFS2 ? How are their performances? OCFS2 may be deprecated.
