For some reason Thomas Weyell’s blog doesn’t get as much attention as it should! Thomas posted a cool article about using Solaris with ZFS as an NFS target for your ESX hosts:
Today I will write about a great subject which means a lot to me.
I read so often that people will use NFS as a cheap and easy shared storage for VMware ESX.
Conceptional! If you want to test something in a test environment, you need cheap storage or what ever you can use NFS. But why so much pepole will use NFS on Linux? There is not one benefit against NFS on ZFS with Solaris 10/Nevada. So lets use a great protocol from the same vendor who develop a very great filesystem and operating system. Lets checkout NFS and ZFS with Solaris…
So check out the complete article here download Solaris(it’s free you guys!!!) and test it out! Did I say it’s free?!! Cool stuff Thomas,
