Hi again

Well a question to the guys who know about the internals:

I need to install a new cluster with 6 nodes. on each node, 4 kvm machines should be installed.

As Storage i have a brand new NEXENTA system.

I want to use ISCSI (with LVM on top) for storage to have live migration.

What is the best way to configure this setup?

Version 1:
i will create only ONE ISCSI LUN on Nexenta with enough space for all VM's and configure every node of the cluster to bind to that LUN

Is that a bottleneck for alltogether 22 VM's ??

Version 2:
i will create 6 LUNS with smaller space and configure every node of the cluster to bind all 6 LUNS

Question is: Which setup would give more performance? is there a difference??

The WIKI gave me no idea of the right way to do it
