Hi Chris<div><br></div><div>iSER will work seamlessly as long as you run it on the hosts, it just requires a compatible iSER target. TGTD should work, although the iser target I tested with was a zfs appliance. I've never tested a Linux iSER target solution. One commercially supported solution you can try out is Mellanox's VSA, which presents block storage over iSER. You can try the configuration with open-nebula lvm drivers. I think those drivers have gotten a lot more robust in the last few weeks as well.</div>

We chatted a while back about IB, and you explained your IPoIB setup, and indeed you released your whole solution to the community. That was a very cool thing to do.</div>
<div>
<br></div><div>I'm wondering how you arrived at your solution, because I wonder if I'm barking up a tree you've already determined has no cats... :)</div><div><br></div><div>Was using IPoIB the initial goal, or did you try other methods before settling on this one? I ask because the tack I'm taking is to try to use iSER. After reading a lot more about how ONE works, it *seems* like it should be pretty easy (knock on wood). It seems like with tgtd (which luckily has iSER support built-in), it should essentially be transparent, as long as the initiator in the host is iSER aware as well. It almost seems like the iscsi method out of the box should 'just work'. Or, am I dreaming? :)</div>
<div>Did you experiment along this vein?</div><div><br></div><div>It would be greatly simplify the network configuration as well if it did work, because there would be no need for the NAT rules anymore - the guest would use OVS in the host for their networking.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, I'm going to try that (unless you've already tried tried it to no avail) first, and I'll let you know how it goes.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div>
