Re: Openfiler - anyone used it?



Yep, OpenFiler rocks :-)

I have 2 * 2TB WD SATA drives exposed over SMB & NFS and 2 * 300GB SAS
15,000 in Raid 0 on a Dell Perc 5i SAS Raid card exposed over ISCSI.

Box is an HP ML115 AMD Opteron Quad Core with 8GB Ram and a quad port Intel
Pro GB PCI-e NIC card, 2 ports bonded for ISCSI traffic and 2 ports bonded
for normal traffic (plus on-board NIC for management traffic).

ESXi boxes using ISCSI for (some) VMs, dual quad port Intel Pro GB PCI-e
NIC
cards in those too to allow segmentation of ISCSI traffic (as well as
bonding for VM traffic).

Needless to say GB switches (Netgear) with appropriate LAGs and VLANs to
separate the network traffic....

All works rather well IME.
