[lxc-users] LXD - Small Production Deployment - Storage

[Gabriel Marais]

Hi Guys

If this is the incorrect platform for this post, please point me in the 
right direction.

We are in the process of deploying a small production environment with 
the following equipment:-

2 x Dell R430 servers each with 128GB Ram and 3 x 600GB SAS 10k drives
1 x Dell PowerVault MD3400 with
	3 x 600GB 15k SAS Drives
	3 x 6TB 7.2k Nearline SAS drives

The PowerVault is cabled directly to the Host Servers via Direct 
Attached Storage, redundantly.


We would like to run a mixture of KVM and LXD containers on both Host 
Servers.

The big question is, how do we implement the PowerVault (and to a 
certain extent the storage on the Host Servers themselves) to be most 
beneficial in this mixed environment.

I have a few ideas on what I could do, but since I don't have much 
experience with shared storage, I am probably just picking straws and 
would like to hear from others that probably has more experience than me.
