Some VE compatible Openfiler alternative?

Openfiler looks like a great solution for providing your own iSCSI for the other VE / VM. Unfortunatly it does not seem possible to run it as a VE, and I would not want my iSCSI server to have virtualized IO, as it's IO performance is critical to *all* other VE / VM in that use-case.

I do not understand your posting. you should install openfiler on dedicated hardware, not virtualized.

I am not given the choice! I rent my servers, and like with so many providers, I have the choice of Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu and a few other pre-installed images. No "Console" access to the server means "no ISO image installation" (AFAIK. Workaround?).

if you cannot use a dedicated storage server system like openfiler also alternative dedicated storage server does help. so just install the basic OS from you choice and setup the iscsi manually (or change the hosting provider, see http://www.proxmox.com/partners/hosting-providers/featured-partners)
