This was enthusiastically received, to the

The interesting alternative is to set up Comstar on SXCE, create
zpools and volumes, and make these available either over a fibre

Right on the money there Bob. Without knowing more detail about the
clients workload, it would be hard to

As I see it, if they want to benefit from ZFS at the storage layer,
the obvious solution would be a NAS system, such as a 7210, or

Hi Stephen,
NexentaStor v1.1.5+ could be an alternative, I think. And it includes
new cool COMSTAR integration, i.e. ZFS shareiscsi property actually
implements COMSTAR iSCSI target share functionality not available in
SXCE. http://www.nexenta.com/nexentastor-relnotes
