Hi all.
Does anyone see an issue with running SmartOS under ESXi, with the ZFS iSCSI ported back to ESXi to store the other VMs? I want to stay with Solarish for a mature ZFS option, which limits my options to SmartOS/OI at this point in time. I've heard of other distros doing this via iSCSI, but SmartOS installations seem a bit more difficult to find.
Also, SmartOS makes a statement in which they say you can run Zones (not KVM though) even if SmartOS is virtualized, but the context was not in terms of ESXi proper but instead under Fusion 5+. Has anyone ever played around with this config and, if so, what did you run into?
