Shared Block

Shared Block is a block-level data storage service that features simple deployment, flexible expansion, and high performance in comparison with SMP primary storage. Shared Block allows you to use a LUN device that you segmented on a SAN storage as a storage pool. This storage pool can be used by your appliance VM instances.

Shared Block adopts the shared block storage method to match ImageStore.
Shared Block allows you to add LUN devices online.

Currently, Shared Block supports two types of shared access protocol: iSCSI and FC.
