Hi all
We've just bought our first SAN with the intention of virtualising servers and providing extra storage to my company.
We have a HP Proliant DL380G5 server with a Intel Quad PT 1000 adapter, connected to a Cisco 3650G switch and ending at a Equalogic PS5000-X SAS SAN.
Now with ESX/ESXi should I host the ESX kernal files on the server DAS or the Equalogic SAN? I can do it either way as the server has 8* 146Gb 10K SAS drives, but equally the Intel 1000PT can iSCSI boot to the SAN so I could host the files on there.
What's the best practise? We will likely move to full ESX server in future with Vmotion so this is only the start for us.
