Need to set up shared storage for Guest virtual machines that are running on a Xen host
- by Sajith
My environment:
I am doing these things at home with the purpose of learning about virtualization techniques. My machine have quad core processor that supports Intel-VT and 8GB RAM. XEN is the virtualization platform. In short, all domUs are LVM based.
Mainly I have two questions;
I need to have shared storage for these VMs. Something like NFS / NAS / iSCSI etc. However, I don't know which one is the best solution. Therefore, can someone tell me which suits best? Please note that, this shared storage need to be accessed by the other physical machines in the network.
How to implement the selected solution for question #1? Any tutorials / guidelines / ebooks will be a great help and highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance :)
