ScaleIO experience?

Does anybody have experience with the combination ScaleIO, CloudStack and Xensever?

Kind regards,

To add some detail from the client,

The client was load testing ScaleIO on XenServer 6.5 and CloudStack wasn't involved.

Obviously XenServer 6.5 is at alpha at the moment.

Hi Cees,

We have a client who are PoC'ing CloudStack, they started with XenServer/ScaleIO but found it unstable and have moved to using vSphere with ScaleIO and CloudStack.

Cees,

Unfortunately I'm not personally aware of anyone using ScaleIO with XenServer, but it is on the HCL for XenServer versions 6.1 and prior ( http://hcl.xensource.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductType=Storage&ProductName=ScaleIO%20vSAN).
 The core CloudStack question would be how CloudStack sees this storage, and my guess would be as local storage.  If you enable local storage for CloudStack, does it see ScaleIO as primary storage?
