Ok, I'm a massive fan of iSCSI, but I'm evaluating a couple of qnaps that we picked up for cold storage if you will (files, stuff thats not accessed that often), the qnaps were selected for their replication tools (specifically RRTR).
Now from my experiences yesterday it seems that vmware is more than happy to play with NFS (and its nice and straight forward to setup). The 1 thing I seem to be missing is the ability to attach the NFS share as a RDM (iSCSI can do this).
is NFS purely a place to stick VMDK's (Which by all accounts will make RRTR pointless) or am I missing something really simple.
Plan B is to go back to iSCSI (so it fits in with the rest of the platform and point our veeam server in its direction and use replication on a continuous cycle)
