I had originally considered something similar, but... for ZFS snapshot abilities, I am leaning more towards zfs-hosted NFS... Most of the other VMs (FreeBSD, for example) can install onto NFS, it wouldn't actually be going over the network, and it would allow file-level restore instead of drive-level restore.

I'm going to be setting up about 6 virtual machines (Windows & Linux) in either VMWare Server or Xen on a CentOS 5 box. I'd like to connect to a ZFS iSCSI target to store the vm images and be able to use zfs snapshots for backup. I have no experience with ZFS, so I have a couple of questions before I move forward. 1. Is this a feasible setup? If not, is there any way to make something like this work reliably? 2. Since I'd most likely want to restore single machines at a time, is it best to have a zpool for each machine? Any insight is appreciated. -- Pete _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
