NFS vs ISCSI for Storage Repositories

nasamangFeb 21 2012 — edited Feb 21 2012

Anyone have any good guidance in using NFS vs ISCSI for larger production deployments of OVM 3?

My testing has been pretty positive with NFS but other than the documented "its not as fast as block storage" and the fact that there is no instant clones (no OCFS2), has anyone else contemplated between the two for OVM? If so, what did you choose and why?

Currently we are testing using NFS thats presented from a Solaris HA Cluster servicing a ZFS pool (basically mimicking ZFS 73xx and 74xx appliances) but I don't know how the same setup would perform if the ZFS pool grew to 10TB of running virtual disk images.

Any feedback?

Thanks
Dave
