Hi all,Is there anyone using rbd for xenserver vm storage? I have XenServer 7 and the latest Ceph, I am looking for the the best way to mount the rbd volume under XenServer. There is not much recent info out there I have found except for this:and this plugin (which looks nice):I am looking for a way that doesn’t involve too much command line so other admins that don’t know Ceph or XenServer very well can work with it. I am just curious what others are doing… Any help is greatly appreciated!Cheers,Mike
I'm not a XenServer user, so I can't help you there; but I feel your pain using Ceph for VMware storage.
I'm surprised that any major Linux distributions haven't considered enabling rbd modules in initrd.
I can see having a tiny OS image containing not much more than grub and the boot kernel. The trick would be to find a way to manage the boot string in the grub conf on a large scale.
