I was messing with esxi and trying to decide how I am going to replace a VERY old OS X server based server that is using openzfs on OS X with new hardware and probably esxi as the bare metal
messing with freenas I noted that copying a folder of material via SMB showed no network activity when doing a folder duplicate operation on a OS X VM connected to freenas VIA smb
tried the same thing in napp-it and noticed network at full bandwidth.. ie the data was round tripping from napp-it to osx client back to napp-it
has server side copy not been implemented in omnios?
I am using the latest napp-it all in one and have the VMs running off a NFS esxi dataset provided by napp-it and then connecting the OSX client to napp-it smb shares to avoid NFS sync write behaviour inside the VM disk
one problem I am also messing with is that if I go the ESXI napp-it route, that I will have issues with osx server as it needs an HFS+ formatted data drive for many of its services and the only way I can see doing it is running the VM from the NFS esxi data share, then having an iscsi target on napp-it and trying to find a free osx initiator to give the OSX server VM a true block level device
any help appreciated...
