I currently have two servers hooked up to a SAN. Here is my storage configuration.
I have multiple kvms running, and I'm able to live migrate and everything. I'm very happy with the setup.
We would like to also use a section of the SAN as a shared storage drive, the individual vms could connect to directly. The thought is that many of our servers could connect to it, similar to an nfs share, but hopefully faster.
Is this a bad idea?, and if not, what would be the best way to configure it?
thanks.
