[Cialug] Linux/*nix NFS + VMware

Wed Dec 29 14:05:45 CST 2010

Does *nix based include Nexenta (specifically NexentaStor)? We're using it in 2 VMWare ESXi environments (one is 4.0, one is 4.1). One is using NFS and one is using iSCSI.

We're transitioning to iSCSI since it seems to have a better multipathing setup than using NFS. Also, we get disk I/O stats per VM on an iSCSI store.

Is anyone using Linux or other *nix based NFS server (freeNAS?) for VMware ESX in production?  Are there any compatibility issues?  I would guess it would be a non-supported configuration as far as VMware goes.
