879+ Linstor Primary Storage
880+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
881+
882+ LINSTOR is a configuration management system for storage on Linux systems.
883+ It manages LVM logical volumes and/or ZFS ZVOLs on a cluster of nodes.
884+ It leverages DRBD for replication between different nodes and to provide block storage devices
885+ to users and applications. It manages snapshots, encryption and caching of HDD backed data in SSDs via bcache.
886+
887+ LINSTOR can be used as volume storage provider for Cloudstack, it currently only supports KVM hypervisors.
888+ To get started first setup your LINSTOR cluster according to the `LINSTOR User Guide <https://linbit.com/drbd-user-guide/linstor-guide-1_0-en/ >`_
889+
890+ .. note ::
891+ Make sure a LINSTOR-Satellite is running on all nodes where you want to have a storage provided for you VM's
892+ and that the nodes have the exact same node names as the nodes in Cloudstack.
893+ Also add a resource group to LINSTOR which you intend to use in Cloudstack.
894+
895+ After you are finished with the LINSTOR cluster setup, you can add a Cloudstack primary storage as any other
896+ primary storage see :ref: `add-primary-storage `.
897+ For protocol choose ``Linstor `` and as server specify the controller REST-API URL e.g.: ``http://127.0.0.1:3370 ``
898+ and use the resource group name you added in the LINSTOR cluster.
