Hello, Being in the process of ( building | buying ) a 3TB SAN (at least iscsi in the beginning, Fiber channel is highly probable), I'm very interested in openfiler.
Currently, I have a proposition for a hardware + software SAN which is very far from cheap. My opinion is that a storage server (something like an HP DL 185 with 12 hard drives) with openfiler could save us a lot, but will it satisfy our needs ? We need : * CIFS + NFS NAS mode for some parts : seems OK, but is it possible to combine CIFS + NFS on the same data ? * Snapshots (ok via lvm). * iscsi target support : ok * fiber channel support : seems ok by reading https://www.openfiler.com/about ("Fibre channel and iSCSI target features provide excellent integration capabilities for virtualization environments such as Xen and VMware"). Is Fiber channel target mode really supported out of the box ? Is it documented in the 2.3 administrator guide ? Thanks in advance, -- Mikael Kermorgant _______________________________________________ Openfiler-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfiler.com/mailman/listinfo/openfiler-users
