  • 1.  Hitachi Storage Plug-in for Containers with Hyper-V virtual fibre channel

    Posted 02-15-2022 04:05
    Hi,

    Reading from the HSPC overview,
    https://knowledge.hitachivantara.com/Documents/Adapters_and_Drivers/Storage_Adapters_and_Drivers/Containers/Storage_Plug-in_for_Containers/3.8.0/Storage_Plug-in_for_Containers_Quick_Reference_Guide_v3.8.0/01_Overview#Storage_requirements

    HSPC only supports the following interface:
    - Fibre Channel and iSCSI for baremetal servers
    - iSCSI for vSphere virtual machines

    What about Hyper-V with virtual fibre channel? As with virtual fibre channel the VM can have direct FC access to the SAN, does it treated as the same as Fibre Channel for baremetal servers and is supported?

    Thank you.

    Kevin

    NoteStorage Plug-in for Containers is tested with VMware vSphere 7.0. Fibre Channel, Verify if Fibre Channel HBA is installed on all hosts.

    Hi Kevin,
    I have setup an OpenShift Cluster with HSPC in Bare-Metal with FC connectivity.

    Good question Kevin, I was also thinking the same, let's wait and see if someone in this community can address this.

    Hi Kevin,
    I have checked in the https://cloud.redhat.com/openshift Create cluster section in the datacenter tab they have all option like bare metal, Redhat Openstack, Vsphere, IBMz but there is no option for Hyper-V, I think openshift does not support Hyper-V not yet maybe they will include it in future releases.
