NexentaStor Community Edition 3.0.4 works fine for that purpose and will give you 'decent' performance and stability for your personal and home storage uses. There is a lot of features in the Nexenta Enterprise Edition 3.0.4, but this might be out of scope for you? As for free support and licensing, use the IRC channel 'nexentastor' and see: http://www.nexenta.com/corp/nexentastor-overview/nexentastor-versions As for Solaris 11 Express, you get a more updated kernel userland environment with the latest ZFS enhancements. Since you want "a ZFS solution on my home server to share vols/directories using iSCSI and/or NFS services between two ESXi hosts", both products will meet your needs with NexentaStor being more specialized in storage solutions for you. For home/personal use, I'd choose NexentaStor Community Edition 3.0.4. ~ Ken Mays -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
