[gpfsug-discuss] GPFS VM passthrough

[Stijn De Weirdt]

hi all,


we are examining the possibility to give VMs access to GPFS mounted on
the hypervisors. (use cases are readonly or read-mostly access to the
data on gpfs, the hypervisors have IB, the vms not yet; and we have no
idea how to handle possible explosion of gpfs client licenses if we
mount gpfs inside the VMs ;)

has anyone experience with using the 9p filesystem passthrough and gpfs
with qemu/kvm?

many thanks,

stijn
