I am looking for references of folks using ZFS with either NFS
or iSCSI as the backing store for VMware (4.x) backing store for
virtual machines. We asked the local VMware folks and they had not
even heard of ZFS. Part of what we are looking for is a recommendation
for NFS or iSCSI, and all VMware would say is "we support both". We
are currently using Sun SE-6920, 6140, and 2540 hardware arrays via
FC. We have started playing with ZFS/NFS, but have no experience with
iSCSI. The ZFS backing store in some cases will be the hardware arrays
(the 6920 has fallen off of VMware's supported list and if we front
end it with either NFS or iSCSI it'll be supported, and VMware
suggested that) and some of it will be backed by J4400 SATA disk.
I have seen some discussion of this here, but it has all been
related to very specific configurations and issues, I am looking for
general recommendations and experiences. Thanks.
