Yes, Cloudstack uses an MS SQL server for data, we've created our own message bus with MS Exchange and the interface is going to be accessed through a MS Word add-in going forwards :-)

OMG...it has to be since it's too early where I am, but I almost puked
thinking somehow Cloudplatform was using MS Sharepoint to store docs in

Kirks,
thanks a lot.
By the wa y, I use OCFS2/iSCSI as the clumster filesystem under Shared Mountpoint mode.
I have a problem right now.
There are two hosts running ocfs2 and connecting to a signle storage server with iSCSI. After I run about one day, one hosts hung up and all the VM on this host stopped.
I suspected ocfs2 filesystem locked the host. I want to see the lock status of ocfs2. How to do?

Hi, Robin. The NFS option should be used for NFS shares that are not
already mounted on the hosts. CloudStack will tell the hosts to mount
the NFS share you specify.
The Shared Mount Point option would be for a primary storage that is
already mounted on the hosts by the system administrator. Here is what
the docs [1] say about it:
> KVM supports "Shared Mountpoint" storage. A shared
> mountpoint is a file system path local to each server

Hi, Robin. The NFS option should be used for NFS shares that are not
already mounted on the hosts. CloudStack will tell the hosts to mount
the NFS share you specify.
The Shared Mount Point option would be for a primary storage that is
already mounted on the hosts by the system administrator. Here is what
the docs [1] say about it:
> KVM supports "Shared Mountpoint" storage. A shared
