Kimchi Fibre Channel Pools

Requirements:

• Create and support storage pools based on Fibre Channel (FC) technology and using Libvirt.
• Auto-mount used FC devices (which are the pre-configured LUNs) in the host.
• Auto discover (refresh) new LUNs.

Use Cases

1. As a kimchi and sysadmin I want to store qcow2 guest images in a given FC/SCSI LUN

• the storagepool is the FC LUN. Type is 'fs'

2. As a kimchi and sysadmin I want to set up a FC/SCSI LUN as a guest disk

• the storagepool here is the FC SCSI host adapter. Type 'SCSI'

Proposed UI flow for use cases:

1. In the new STORAGE POOL window, user inputs the name and select Fibre Channel as type

• FC Hosts adapters found in the host are shown to user

2. User selects which adapter to use

• 2 options shown to user: (1)Use a LUN as pool. (2)Use FC Host Adapter as pool;
• LUNs of the FC Host adapter are shown to user

3. (1) User selects option 1 and MUST select a LUN to create the pool

• a 'fs' pool is created, using the system device mapped from selected LUN;
• a file system should be created if does not exist

4. (2) OR User selects option 2

• a SCSI pool is created
• User should then choose a LUN from this pool to assign to a VM, when creating it

The LUNS refresh system should be implemented and triggered any time before LUNs be shown.
A button can also be implemented.
