All of the EqualLogic deployments I'm aware of export iSCSI LUNs to CloudStack and add the primary storage as type iSCSI in CloudStack. There's a wide variety of storage used in production with CloudStack, but EqualLogic is one of the more popular options. I haven't heard of anyone using StorageLink.
With XenServer people use local disk, iSCSI, NFS, and Fiber Channel (via PreSetup). iSCSI and NFS are the popular choices. The challenge we have seen with XenServer and iSCSI is admin debugging in the case of issues. Many people don't know or understand the volume commands needed in this environment, so if something goes wrong the debugging process can be tedious (as compared to NFS, where you can manage VHD files with ls,cp,etc). -kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: Lucas Hughes [mailto:lucas.hug...@ecommerce.com] > Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 3:07 PM > To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org; cloudstack- > us...@incubator.apache.org > Subject: Re: Cloudstack Supporting Xenserver StorageLink storage pool > > On 06/20/2012 05:13 PM, Lucas Hughes wrote: > > My enviroment that I am testing with has Equallogic San's that are > > connecting to our XenServer 6.0 pool.
