At least in 3.x, VMware had a limitation of only being able to use one connection per iSCSI target (even if there were multiple LUNs on it): http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2009-June/028731.html Not sure if that's changed in 4.x, so if you're going to have more than one LUN, then having more than one target may be advantageous. See also: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/iSCSI_design_deploy.pdf You may want to go to the VMware lists / forums to see what the people there say as well. Out of curiosity, any reason why went with iSCSI and not NFS? There seems to be some debate on which is better under which circumstances. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
