Re: [Xen-users] iscsi/nfs/aoe SAN storage for Xen

any opinion if opensolaris would be a good choice? Im wondering if there will be any differences in performance, or if its mostly limited by the hw. As for features, snapshotting with zfs sounds nice..

I've used Openfiler in XEN deployments before, with good results.

Thanks for answer.
What im looking for is a software solution to check out the possibilities (build one myself) with a SAN before buying a big enterprise one.
I'll put Equallogic in the "good" box for later aquintance:)

We are looking for a installment of a own built SAN machine for managing and storing xen virtual machines.
Does anyone have any experience with the following:
- NexentaStor
- Openfiler
- FreeNAS
- iSCSI target

We are looking for stability and thoroughly tested systems.
If there are any other systems feel free to mention them and your experiences.


Well, in that case I'd recommend (Dell) Equallogic iSCSI Arrays.
They've been around pretty much since iSCSI spec was released, and they're
fast, scalable, stable and easy to setup and use.

I have only good experiences of Equallogic arrays, been using them for many
years.
