I’m going to have a write up on this shortly, but just to give you a heads up. I’ve built a VMWare ESXi node with an old P4 (socket 478 baby) that I’ve connected to another P4 running OpenSolaris acting as an iscsi SAN with ZFS backed storage. So far, I’ve been really pleased with both ESXi and solaris iscsi target support, but I’ve been flat out blown away by ZFS. Watch this space.
