crgwbr Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hello all, I'm looking to build a file server on OpenSolaris that uses a ZFS file system on 3 1.5TB drives. My question is: Can I install this as a VM on top of Esxi? I'd like to give OpenSolaris access to each of the drives individually, and have it manage the ZFS. Is this a good idea? Would I lose any of the benefits of ZFS? Thanks, Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhostbudd Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 What is the point of using esxi at all if you are just running open solaris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crgwbr Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 I'd like to have the flexibility of running other OS's in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
