Hi all,

I need to exposs an iscsi disk to be used as a main disk in a vm. Because I am pretty new in this solution I would like to ask some tips and good practices to avoid making rookie mistakes that can really hit the performance or availability.

What are the common things I should take into account before deploying everything?

Thanks in advance

    Is there a specific reason to mount the lun directly opposed to creating a virtual disk? Performance, maybe?

      More like, if you wanted the storage under the LUN to be shared through the VM. Essentially, mount the LUN into the VM and then run NFS/SMB from the VM as a NAS. Works out pretty well since with a little bit of trickery you can have a NAS that is also HA (assuming the storage pool doesn’t go down).

      With that said, I’m very interested too.

      Unless I completely misunderstood your question
