Mastering VMware® Infrastructure3Windows administrators will be most familiar with SMB traffic, which occurs each time a user accesses a shared resource using a universal naming convention (UNC) like \\servername\sharename. Whereas Windows uses the SMB protocol for file transfer, Linux-based systems use NFS to accomplish the same thing. Although you can configure the Service Console with a Samba client to allow communication with Windows-based computers, the VMkernel does not support using SMB and therefore lacks the ability to retrieve files from a computer running Windows. The VMkernel only supports NFS version 3 over TCP/IP. Like the deployment of an iSCSI storage network, a NAS/NFS deployment can benefit greatly from being located on a dedicated IP network where traffic is isolated. Figure 4.30 shows a NAS/NFS deployment on a dedicated network. Figure 4.30PAn NAS Server deployed for shared storage among ESX Server hosts should be located on a dedicated network separated from the common intranet traffic. Without competition from other types of network traffic (e-mail, Internet, instant messaging, etc.), the transfer of virtual machine data will be much more efficient and provide better performance.P NFS SecurityP NFS is unique because it does not force the user to enter a password when connecting to the shared directory ...» | Код для вставки книги в блог HTML
