I'll second Openfiler. Been using it to run a powervault 220s for 2 years now with not one issue. And if you need enterprise support they have that too.

My ESX instructor learned us how to use OpenFiler, and he said many companies use it for production. I don't use it here, but I was very impressed with OpenFiler. Maybe at some point...

Planning a move to VMWare ESX, and I'm evaluatiing my SAN choices. I have OpenFiler in a production environment storing some of our data. On of our NAS box's flaked out on me, and I repurposed a server with Openfiler to fill the void and try out iSCSI SAN features. I've been extremely happy with the performance. Using it to run VM's and take advantage of High Availability features is where I am having some pause. Wonder if anyone here has already blazed this trail Thanks, Jonathan ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
