Hi all,
I have been very fortunate to acquire a SuperMicro SSG-2029P-DN2R24L / SuperStorage 2029P-DN2R24L chassis, with 2x nodes in one chassis sharing a bunch of NVMe storage. The interesting thing about this system is that the two independent server nodes both see all of the NVMe drives on the front of the chassis; for example if you have 8x NVMe drives in the front then both servers see the same 8x NVMe drives.
I know I could use either PCI-e or physical disk passthrough so that a VM can use and expose the storage, but is there any way I can achieve live migration using this hardware? Can resource mappings help me make use of this hardware?
I think ideally I'd have a VM with all the disks passed through and use them for ZFS. Previously this hardware was using a Pacemaker cluster with the ZFS itself imported / exported on one node at a time, and while I could repeat that it would make it harder to run other software alongside it.
Many thanks,
Chris
