However, it will help you to know which features of each hypervisor are
supported by CloudStack. The following table provides this information.

+Hypervisor Support for Primary Storage
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following table shows storage options and parameters for different
+hypervisors.

+| Local storage support | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
++----------------------------------+-------------+---------------+----------------+----------------+--------+
+| Storage over-provisioning | NFS | NFS and iSCSI | NFS | | No |
++----------------------------------+-------------+---------------+----------------+----------------+--------+

++----------------------------------+-------------+---------------+----------------+----------------+--------+
+
+XenServer uses a clustered LVM system to store VM images on iSCSI and
+Fiber Channel volumes and does not support over-provisioning in the
+hypervisor. The storage server itself, however, can support
+thin-provisioning. As a result the CloudStack can still support storage
+over-provisioning by running on thin-provisioned storage volumes.
+
+KVM supports "Shared Mountpoint" storage. A shared mountpoint is a file
+system path local to each server in a given cluster. The path must be
+the same across all Hosts in the cluster, for example /mnt/primary1.
+This shared mountpoint is assumed to be a clustered filesystem such as
+OCFS2. In this case the CloudStack does not attempt to mount or unmount
+the storage as is done with NFS. The CloudStack requires that the
+administrator insure that the storage is available
+
+With NFS storage, CloudStack manages the overprovisioning. In this case
+the global configuration parameter storage.overprovisioning.factor
+controls the degree of overprovisioning. This is independent of
+hypervisor type.
+
+Local storage is an option for primary storage for vSphere, XenServer,
+and KVM. When the local disk option is enabled, a local disk storage
+pool is automatically created on each host. To use local storage for the
+System Virtual Machines (such as the Virtual Router), set
+system.vm.use.local.storage to true in global configuration.
+
+CloudStack supports multiple primary storage pools in a Cluster. For
+example, you could provision 2 NFS servers in primary storage. Or you
+could provision 1 iSCSI LUN initially and then add a second iSCSI LUN
+when the first approaches capacity.
