Hi all, This is my first post and i'm new to Solaris (not completely, but effectively). I'm planning my new iSCSI SAN and i'm evaluating various products.
Right now i'm looking at :- - OpenFiler on generic x86 hardware and a bunch of sata disks - FreeNAS, as above and now.. - OpenSolaris+ZFS+generic hw+bunch of sata disks Basically my requirement is to throw 10 1TB SATA disks in a generic box and present the LUNs via iSCSI primarily to a vmware esxi host. I haven't sorted the motherboard out yet nor the disk controllers, so any recommendations would be appreciated. I will check the HCL though! This is just for home, so no server-grade stuff! As far as performance goes, I appreciate i'm not going to get the same as I have at the moment with my file server and its DAS (300-500MB/sec), but I am wondering if it's possible to trunk iSCSI interfaces (normal NICs) on Solaris? I'm thinking that 2gbps will be adequate. I'm a little confused though. There appears to be an iSCSI target project (albeit notes last updated last year I think), and the COMSTAR project (which i'm not sure if iSCSI support is ready(?) yet).. Any thoughts/comments/comparisons/warnings appreciated... :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
