Hi Igor, We will do eventually this test and let you know. This question was raised during a meeting by one of our senior sysadmin and I believe at this point that the answer is defineitively a yes. We like what we see and read so far about ceph. The client has no choice( du to the growing nature and the structure of our data) to move to an object storage like ceph instead of the traditional san/nas storage plattform we cureently have. We will be in touch,

I don't make any test for CSV yet, so can you please try and do quick response about that?

So basically I can't use cluster aware tool like Microsoft CSV on the RBD, is that correct? What I am trying to understand is that can I have 2 physical hosts (Maybe Dell PowerEdge2950) *host1 with VM#0-10 *host2 with VM #10-20 And both of these hosts accessing one big LUN or, in this case ceph RBD? Can host1 failed all it VMs to host2 in case that machine has trouble and still make it resources available to my users? This is very important to us if we really want to explore this new avenue of Ceph Thank you, Yao Mensah Systems Administrator II OLS Servers yao.men...@usdoj.gov<mailto:yao.men...@usdoj.gov> (202) 307 0354<tel:%28202%29%20307%200354> MCITP MCSE NT4.0 / 2000-2003 A+ From: Dave Spano [mailto:dsp...@optogenics.com<mailto:dsp...@optogenics.com>] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2013 1:19 PM To: Mensah, Yao (CIV) Cc: ceph-users@lists.ceph.com<mailto:ceph-users@lists.ceph.com> Subject: Re: [ceph-users] FW: About RBD Unless something changed, each RBD needs to be attached to 1 host at a time like an ISCSI lun.

I have one question and maybe you can help on this: Can ceph RBD be used by 2 physical hosts at the same time? Or, is Ceph rbd CSV(Clustered Shared Volumes) aware?
