Shared storage for libvirt (KVM)

[sysop]

I'd ask in a KVM / or libvirt, ovirt type forum, but the answer would probably be to just use iSCSI targets for each VM image. That may be a good solution if you have a single storage server. But, it gets pretty clunky trying to to setup open-e for failover with 10-15 (or more as we grow) iscsi targets. That would be mean creating the source LV, target LV, with the same size and scsiID, replication task, etc, and adding them to the cluster for each VM.

Is that the way to go? Does my question make sense to anyone? I feel like I'm overlooking something more simple to manage.

Has anyone had luck with open-e active-passive (or active-active) and using gfs or glusterfs?

Thanks

Anybody have any thoughts?

Natural way to go with iSCSI is to use cluster file system (like vmfs in ESX), here the options are limited only to KVM possibilities.

However if you have DSS V7 key it is possibe to still use it on latest releases of DSS V6 if you wish to use NFS cluster.
