Hello, I am fairly new to Solaris and ZFS. I am testing both out in a sandbox
at work. I am playing with virtual machines running on a windows front-end that
connects to a zfs back-end for its data needs. As far as i know my two options
are sharesmb and shareiscsci for data sharing. I have a couple questions about
which way I should go. Is there a performance increase by using iSCSI? If I go
with iSCSI will I have to then format NTFS on the Windows iSCSI disk? I would
want the ability to create snapshots of the virtual disks, If I have to format
the iSCSI target with NTFS on the windows machine ZFS would not see the
individual files correct? Again this is new territory for me and I have been
doing a lot of reading. Thanks in advance for any input. P.S. I know this is
not an ideal situation for VM or storage, but it is what I have been given to
work with.
