Hi there,
I am about to perform a restructure of our virtual environment and as such upgrade to 4.1. I currently present iSCSI to 16 servers, have a multipath device configured and LVM on top of that.
Obviously I can't have snapshots on LVM since it required RAW VM disks.
I just wondered if there is anything I can do with this storage to get snapshot functionality? I could put a front end in front of the storage array and present NFS or something else but id rather not put a 'man in the middle' since I like to use the dual active controllers for multipathing on my SAN.
I have read about ZFS over iSCSI but I am not sure how this works and whether it will work with my HP P2000 SAN. It also appears not to work with multipathing?
Thanks
Tom
