<div dir="ltr">Hi all. Again.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am still fighting that "VMware esxi cannot use striped
gluster volumes" thing, and a couple of crazy ideas are coming
to mind.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One of them is using iSCSI WITH gluster, and esxi
connecting via iSCSI.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My experience with iSCSI is limited to a couple of FreeNAS
test installs, and some tuning on FreeNAS and esxi in order to
implement multipathing, but nothing dead serious.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I remember that after creating a volume and formating it
(zvol), THEN space was allocated to iSCSI. Makes some sense,
since iSCIS is a block device, and after it is available, the
operating system will actually use it. But it is a bit foggy.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am trying to bypass the present limitation on Gluster,
which refuses to talk to esxi using a striped volume. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, here is the question: anyone here uses gluster and
iSCSI ? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would anyone care to comment on performance of this kind of
solution, pros and cons ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks. </div>
</div>
