Hi,
I have written this in the Vmware thread. https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/best-way-to-share-nfs-for-esxi.5321/
I was wondering how can I run this card to use 10gbe for NFS?
I have been wanting to share ESXI to ZFS natively using NFS. I have 2 box of X8SIL-F and wanted to connect to a datastore using Brocade 1020 cards. I have them connected at the following way.
A, B = X8SIL-F (ESXI)
C = ESXI, VM Passthrough, IBM M1015 to 24 HDD, running OmniOS)
A (ESXI) - B (ESXI)
A (ESXI) - C (ESXI, ZFS)
B (ESXI) - C (ESXI, ZFS)
All these are connected using Active Twinax Cables. Part no 58-1000026-01. 1 meter active twinax.
Is this configuration supported? How do I get the ESXI in Box A and B to get the data from C as using Twinax does not have IP for the VMNet3.
Thanks.
Regards.
