Hi everyone,

When create Volume Group, I’ll select the allowed source VMs to access my VG either internal VM or external client, the question is in which cases I need to configure Filesystem Whitelists?

 

Thanks in advance.

Nope, the filesystem whitelists are for when you want to access the storage containers directly. For VGs, you can either direct attach them to the VM with no additional whitelisting required, or connect to them with a traditional iSCSI client with the clients’ ID(s) added to the VG.

That “external client” checkbox is for allowing clients that aren’t hosted by the cluster to connect to the VG.
