Sorry - In the old setup, I had ESXi host, with solaris 10 guest, exporting NFS back to the host. So ESXi created the other guests inside the NFS storage pool. In this setup, the bottleneck is the virtual LAN that maxes out around 2-3 Gbit, plus TCP/IP and NFS overhead that degrades the usable performance a bit more. In the new setup, I have openindiana running directly on the hardware (OI is the host) and virtualization is managed by VirtualBox. I would use zones if I wanted solaris/OI guests, but it just so happens I want linux & windows guests. There is no bottleneck. My linux guest can read 6Gbit/sec and write 3Gbit/sec (I'm using 3 disks mirrored with another 3 disks, each can read/write 1 Gbit/sec). _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
