I'm hearing a lot of people here saying "quiesce" the VM, and how many VM's do you have per volume... I am surprised by both of these.
What I've always done was to make individual zvol's in ZFS, and export them over iscsi. Then vmware simply uses that "disk" as the disk for the VM. Let ZFS do snapshotting, and don't worry about vmware. Every guest OS (at least every one I've had to deal with) is designed to be able to survive a power failure (or kernel halt or whatever) so if you ever need to rollback or restore a ZFS snapshot and reboot the guest, you're effectively booting that guest as if the power had been interrupted at the time of the snapshot. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
