Setup 3 node cluster

XOSAN would be a nice setup for 3 node cluster
Beta program in January! (not the final product but a test at scale to validate some choices).
It already doable "manually" but not trivial (but faaaaaaaaar trivial than using Ceph, for a 3 node installation, it doesn't make sense).
Ceph is like OpenStack (and they go well each other): they are good for large installations. Otherwise, it's a pain that isn't worth it.

You should talk to @KOOLER about his upcoming storage layer for Xen.

@scottalanmiller XenServer or Xen?

Is XEN Orchestra free?

English is a bit vague for the word "free".
It's Open Source. We sell a turnkey appliance + support + web updater. If you want to play with it from the sources, you can

How do you install it on xenserver
-
@matthewaroth35 The easiest way to start playing with it, is to download the virtual appliance. You just "import" it on your XenServer and you are up and running. Register on https://xen-orchestra.com
Then the doc is here: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/xoa.html
-
I would have to do it to each server I have right ?
-
@matthewaroth35 Nope. XOA can be connect to any number of hosts at the same time. Just run it somewhere, it enough. See https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/architecture.html

Their layer is generic. Not specific to XenServer

You could build a 3 node HyperConverged Cluster using old servers with StarWind Virtual SAN as a storage provider and Free Hyper-V as the Hypervisor. In case you decide going that path, ping me offline and i will help you out with the configuration.
