EC/PC connection to storage?
Hello,
We have used OC in the past, but only with local libraries which seriously limited our options for migrating and cloning VMs/zones. We would like to build a new SPARC private cloud from scratch using a shared ZFS storage appliance on a 10GbE fiber network. In addition to the managed hosts being connected to the ZFS storage network, does the co-located EC/PC server also need to be directly connected to the storage network in order to administer the NAS and SAN libraries? Or does the EC/PC simply talk to the ZFS over the management network (ie. admin VLAN) to facilitate storage and library provisioning? The reason I ask is I need to know if I must order fiber SFP+ cards for the EC/PC.
