Deploying Virtual SAN (VSAN) in an Oracle Linux KVM Environment
Oracle Linux KVM It is possible to use StarWind VSAN in an environment. StarWind VSAN supports KVM and provides a dedicated configuration guide.
Configuration Overview
The basic approach to deploying StarWind VSAN in an Oracle Linux KVM environment is to use a Controller Virtual Machine (CVM).
CVM Deployment: Deploy a Linux-based virtual appliance (CVM) that runs the StarWind VSAN software on each KVM host (physical server).
Local Storage Aggregation: The CVM manages the host's local storage (HDD or SSD) and bundles the local storage of multiple hosts to function as a single shared storage pool.
Providing Shared Storage: This shared storage pool is provided to other virtual machines and applications on the same KVM host via protocols such as iSCSI.
Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager (OLVM) Integration
If you are using Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager (OLVM), StarWind also provides a configuration guide for OLVM (oVirt-based) environments. This guide provides detailed steps for deploying and configuring the CVM using the Web UI.
Detailed Procedures and Documentation
For specific installation and configuration procedures, you can refer to the official StarWind software documentation (in English) or the FAQ site of the domestic partner, Climb Inc. (in Japanese).
StarWind Official Documentation: A configuration guide for the Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager (OLVM) environment is provided (Configuring StarWind Virtual SAN in Oracle Linux Environment).
