GitHub user dahampere added a comment to the discussion: iSCSI overlay for
Primera / Alletra Storage MP on CloudStack 4.22.1.1 KVM
@nickaccuweb Thank you very much, for your response and time to evaluate this,
which I greatly appreciate. While everything works as expected and now in
production, if this could be included into the main-stream, after proper
vetting; Makes life easy, for everyone, when it comes to patching and upgrades.
- CloudStack 4.22.1.1
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- HPE Alletra MP10100 (block)
- The KVM hosts have iSCSI and NFS as primary storage (I've successfully
migrated all disks from NFS into the alletra-array using the new driver, with
no issues)
