Hi All,
I've been testing mssql running on lxc and found it performs very well. I'm curious if anyone has successfully clustered two or more lxc containers in a failover cluster. I've read it is theoretically possible (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/s...d-disk-cluster-concepts?view=sql-server-ver16) but I'm struggling to configure my lxc with supported shared storage [iscsi, nfs, smb]. iscsi would be the ideal storage, however I can't figure out how to get open-iscsi to work properly on lxc.

Has anyone been able to accomplish this and care to share how you did it?

Thanks!

I'll add that the OS lxc is running is Ubuntu 22.04. I haven't attempted another linux distro yet.
