Netapp Filers and VMware ESX

Interested in running vmware ESX on Netapp filers using either iSCSI, FCP or even NFS (when performance is not an issue). The Netapp documents below could shed some more light on the issue.


Network Appliance and VMware ESX Server 3.0 Storage Best Practices


Best Practices for VMware ESX Server 3.0 Backup on NetApp


This last document also has a sample script that can be used to snapshot volumes that contain Virtual Machines. There are also some .vsb scripts out there that interact directly with the Virtual Center server (can be useful when using vmotion).


Finally I would like to point you to a great website with some cool vmware info and tools, this site is worth you visit.
