<p class="MsoNormal">One concern I do have is that it uses a proprietary protocol that in turn requires a proprietary “data client”. For VM hosting this data client can be installed in the compute node host OS, but seems like we wouldn’t be able to boot a
bare-metal instance from a ScaleIO-backed Cinder volume.</p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not supporting iSCSI would indeed be an issue for bare-metal instances. The same basic issue exists for Ceph backed storage, although I've been encouraging the cinder team to provide a capability of returning an iscsi volume mapping for Ceph. If there is a similar possibility, please let me know as it might change the overall discussion regarding providing storage for bare metal instances.</div><div><br></div><div>-Julia</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72"><div class="m_1102960100985513378WordSection1">
