Hi Ivan, SS is still on NFS in this case. It's the primary storage in trying to move on iscsi managed storage so just like Solidfire/Ceph on primary.
While NFS is used on both SS and primary, I understand the SSVM just mounts both shares and copies templates when needed. But if you have a qcow2 template on SS, and primary on managed storage, I presume the SSVM copies the qcow2 into the just dynamically created iscsi volume in a raw way.... but I don't know that is what Im trying to connect the dots :) On Sun, Mar 3, 2019 at 2:02 PM Ivan Kudryavtsev <kudryavtsev...@bw-sw.com> wrote: > Jean-Francois, > NFS primary, NFS secondary worked always like a charm.
