Hello Norman, |

Thank you so much for your response, and that is an interesting setup. |

>> we open up pools of up to 20 hosts which all mount the same NFS |
| 6 |
>> share which holds sparse file images as virtual hdds of the |
| 7 |
>> VM. |

How are these sprase file images initially built for each VM's virtual hdd? And |
| 10 |
can this process be automated. |

|
| 12 |
>> So life migration is possible, other than holding the VMs on local |
| 13 |

| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I can understand that. |

>> Our never clusters are equipped with hosts using 10 gigabit ethernet. |
| 18 |
>> Two 10GE ports are bonded to provide redundancy and balancing. Every |
| 19 |

Good network engineering. |

I guess also with this setup replication would be handled by rsync? If so, the |
| 25 |
potential of this setup really starts to shine. |

WOW, from NAS to SAN? |
