Hi,
we had very good experience with omnios and fibrechannel. 
We tried it with infiniband and SRP but no look. Because the Mellanox driver were only community based. 
But after we changed all back to FibreChannel ist works great. 
We use only EmulexCards, because there were listed by VMware in the HCL for ESXi 5.5

We had 10 VMHosts, 3 Storageserver each witch 1 dual port FC Card.
They host 124 VMs, 10 Terminalserver, 5 SQL-Server, and 8 ExchangeServer. 
No Probs thins were changed back to FC!

So i can say, use HCL listed Cards for VMWare!








I guess you're talking about the VmWare hosts Fc adapters, huh? Not the storage servers Fc adapters?

Because I've tried many times with emulex adapters on my storage appliancies, and always having problems. I never have had problems with qlogic adapters on the storage appliancies.

Regards Johan







Bye
Thomas

Is it limited to NFS on VSphere, or is there some way I can get this working with Hyper-V (which would be vastly preferable due to licensing advantages for me)?

Hyper-V uses SMB3.0, right?  Like iSCSI, illumos community member (and storage vendor) Nexenta has done nontrivial amounts of work here.  It's "simply" a matter of upstreaming it.
