    • RE: CoRAID is No More

      I fully agree with you guys on how bad Coraid have manage their end and the fact it is a shame for end users, partners...

      RIP Coraid but long life to the OpenAoE community, I strongly think that AoE has not died with Coraid and it is just the beginning of a new story :

      VMware at least.

      My guess is in the next 5 years vmware will become less and less relevant.

      I think that's a safe bet since, I would say, that happened already over the last six months. It's already gone from nearly the only thing that NTG recommends and supports to about the only one that never comes up.

      +1 Guys 😉

      I'm based in Granada. If I hadn't just gotten back from London, I might have zipped up there!

      No worries, we will live broadcast all the summit : please check the meetup page and will add the link :
      http://www.meetup.com/OpenZFS-Europe/?scroll=true

      And we will also (later) put all videos online (like last year) :
      https://www.youtube.com/user/AlyseoDotCom
      Or vimeo.com/alyseo

      @Yacine-Kheddache thanks for the informative follow up! Great to see that there is activity on this project. I'll definitely do some digging into the resources that you provided.

      You are Welcome Scott.

      It is going to be a tough road for them. But without CoRAID undermining the protocol, it certainly has a much better chance now than it did before.

      Yep and this is the new challenge but AoE lovers are already behind the community and only for the best 🙂

      That's the biggest fear is getting the same people involved that were there before with CoRAID. CoRAID was an evil company, actually evil. The involvement of the people associated with that project is the biggest risk to AoE as those people may end up tainting the project.

      Don't mix and match VCs and Inventors/techies 😉 Guess and hope this will be clarified soon very soon 🙂

      But guess a vendor will need to take over Coraid on Windows and Vmware driver to ensure certification and support for end users.

      VMware at least. However, I think that the current efforts of getting open support natively into XenServer is a good starting point. A for-profit vendor won't necessarily be required if popularity increases, a non-profit foundation can get momentum and if good support for non-VMware virtualization can take root first. Getting Xen and KVM to have rock solid support will go a long way. Then if HyperV gets the support VMware won't be nearly so important (or hard.)

      XCP, XenServer are supported by community (Alyseo contrib) for a while and it is now on behalf of the OpenAoE community.

      KVM and Xen just work asis (AoE in kernel), aoetools are opensource also and we released some nice startup scritps (sysv so far but will post new systemd version asap).

      Hyperv is next but like Vmware, not easy IMHO to have opensource implementation and gain enterprise trust... will see.

    • RE: In Wake of CoRAID Demise, Will Open AoE Rise?

      To clarify a few points, correct some mistakes and give an other point of view...

      AoE specs are fully open since day one... :
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATA_over_Ethernet

      Not available on Coraid web site anymore of course but you can find them here (or search on google) :
      http://ftp.alyseo.com/pub/partners/Coraid/Docs/AoE/AoEDescription.pdf

      Linux driver is also opensource since day one... :
      ftp://ftp.alyseo.com/pub/partners/Coraid/Drivers/Linux/

      Integrated in LInux kernel for years and now available on github under the OpenAoE community :
      https://github.com/OpenAoE/aoe

      BSD and Solaris (opensource version) are outdated :
      ftp://ftp.alyseo.com/pub/partners/Coraid/Drivers/
      But OpenAoE community will work on it...

      Some Windows drivers exists and are opensource :
      http://winaoe.org/
      http://reboot.pro/topic/8168-winvblock/

      But guess a vendor will need to take over Coraid on Windows and Vmware driver to ensure certification and support for end users.

      Many AoE targets implementation are opensource, make your choice :
      vblade[1], a userspace daemon that is part of the aoetools package.
      kvblade[2], a Linux kernel module.
      ggaoed[3], a userspace daemon that takes advantage of Linux-specific performance features.
      qaoed[4], a multithreaded userspace daemon.
      aoede[5], a userspace daemon with experimental protocol extensions.

      Vblade is under the OpenAoE community and on github now :
      https://github.com/OpenAoE/vblade

      So you may like or not AoE, but IMHO AoE is not dead and has not died with Coraid...

      Let's wait and see, it is just the beginning of the story for OpenAoE and new vendors are coming or reborn with an open approach :
