Ian, A couple of quick questions:
- Is this going to be NFS or iSCSI (I've used EQL with iSCSI)? - Do you require a separate storage network on XenServer to access the EQL, or is it accessible from the same network as the management server? - Is you EQL on the XenServer HCL, including the firmware? HCL is at hcl.xensource.com That last point may not seem significant, but I've seen issues where a firmware update gets in the way. -tim On Mon, Jun 23, 2014 at 12:56 PM, Ian Marshall <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Carlos > > I have read these but a little unsure of the specific order of deployment > configuration if using xenserver.
