About virtio-scsi driver: There are many problem to use it on windows 2012 cluster service. Every time you try to validate a Virtio disk under W2012 cluster tool, you have this errors: with VIRTIO DISK device: "The port driver used by the disk does not support clustering. Disk bus type does not support clustering. Disk partition style is MBR. Disk type is BASIC." with VIRTIO SCSI DISK device: "The port driver used by the disk does not support clustering. Disk bus type does not support clustering. Disk partition style is MBR. Disk type is BASIC. The required inquiry data (SCSI page 83h VPD descriptor) was reported as not being supported. " OS: Centos 7 3.10.0-123.13.2.el7.x86_64 libvirt version: 1.1.1, package: 29.el7_0.4 qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7_0.11.x86_64 Thank's! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

" Hi Massimo, I don't know much about Windows cluster service but I think this error is because virtio-scsi is a direct attached controller, like explained in: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2839292?wa=wsignin1.0 Thanks, Fam ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

When one system is down, the other takes over. In VMware a disk with RDM (raw device mapping) could be added, so I think scsi-block and/or scsi-generic should work too. If I understand correctly, Massimo uses image based scsi-disk. scsi-{block,generic} requires a scsi target on host side. In order to use an image file, we could use iscsi service to export the host image and use the iscsi driver in QEMU. Not sure if there are simpler ways.

Sounds like emulating SCSI clustering features (like reservations) on top of a host file system - but this needs to work across multiple hosts. Massimo: Can you describe the shared storage setup you are using?
