Overview

ZStack Cloud can connect to the SAN storage, including the iSCSI server and the FC storage.

iSCSI Server

ZStack Cloud allows you to add iSCSI servers. You can automatically log in to iSCSI servers without making any configuration on each host. In addition, ZStack Cloud can automatically detect online and discover disks, and initiate automatic configuration for the iSCSI servers in a convenient way. The iSCSI disks that are correctly detected can be used as follows:
  • iSCSI disks can be passed through directly to VM instances.
  • iSCSI disks can be added as Shared Block primary storages by means of shared blocks.

FC Storage

ZStack Cloud supports the FC storage pass-through, automatically detects online and discovers the preconfigured FC storages, and directly displays the details of FC storages. The FC storages that are correctly detected can be used as follows:
  • The block devices of FC storages can be passed through directly to VM instances.
  • The block devices of FC storages can be added as Shared Block primary storages by means of shared blocks.
