In fact, I just want to be able to use VM on a NAS that provides a connection to the host just as performant as if the VM storage was inside the host (more than SATA 3). This is to to be able to swap hosts in minutes in the event where the main host would go down (power down host 1, boot up standby host 2 that would share the same VM storage location with host 1).
I don't plan yet to provide 10gbps to the clients, since we're not having bottlenecks on that part of the network.
In the proof of concept of my reseller, he tried to connect his 10gbps switch using sfp+ to the rest of his 1gbps network and nothing worked until he connected a 10gbps router. Note that I have made him swear that both switches were configured on the same subnet and trunked with SFP+.
Many thanks for shedding light on that confusing problem.
gauthiermaxime got a reaction from Lurick in 10gbps server infrastructure
