This is precisely the thing I'm interested in. How do you do that? On my ESXi (test) server, I have a solaris ZFS VM. When I configure it... and add disk ... my options are (a) create a new virtual disk (b) use an existing virtual disk, or (c) (grayed out) raw device mapping. There is a comment "Give your virtual machine direct access to a SAN." So I guess it only is available if you have some iscsi target available... But you seem to be saying ... don't add the disks individually to the ZFS VM. You seem to be saying... Ensure the bulk storage is on a separate sas/scsi/sata controller from the ESXi OS... And then add the sas/scsi/sata PCI device to the guest, which will implicitly get all of the disks. Right? Or maybe ... the disks have to be scsi (sas)? And then you can add the scsi device directly pass-thru? What's the trick that I'm missing? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
