Hello,
We are plannnig changes to our storage for our file servers and I have the need to create file storage disks larger than 2TB. We have been, up until now, creating vmdk disks and adding them to the vm, but now that we need larger disks, I would rather not create multiple vmdk's and span the disk accross two vmdk's.
So from what I have read, NFS is an option, but so is and iSCSI RDM. I like everything about NFS other than the fact that it is difficult to load balance it like MPIO with iSCSI. Using RDM's with iSCSI for me looks easy as our system already has multiple sans using iSCSI.
Not sure if there is right or wrong way, so I would like to ask what do most people prefer to use?
Thanks,
Dan.
