[xenpreview-dev] Xen and Shared storage / SAN

[Fraser Campbell]

Hi,

We want to use SAN for storing Xen guests.  We want to use physical 
devices (volumes in LVM speak) not loopback files since we expect 
performance on an LV will be significantly better than performance of a 
loopback mount on top of a clustered filesystem (OCFS2 for example).

Does anyone have any documentation on how to set up the EVMS hb2 plugin 
recently added by Novell (evms-ha-2.5.5)?  We are hoping that EVMS with 
hb2 or ha plugins can be used to effectively share SAN slices across a 
cluster of Xen machines.

If I do manage to get this going I will be happy to document it but so 
far I can find *zero* documentation.

Thanks,
Fraser
