[PVE-User] openiscsi with Proxmox

[Muhammad Yousuf Khan]

Thanks Fabio. i am already using this in our testing i use this for almost
2 months for test and what i found out about this product is in the list
below.

1, Very complex command structure, even for changing the IP i have to run
several commands and quite long one.
2. since most of the troubleshooting done from console end (SSH), and due
to above reason user can not find the problem that easy.
3. 3rd party linux type apps like dstat,htop,iotop and blah blah . all are
missing. and with out these tools it is almost like we are learning some
thing very new.
4. small community.
5. (please correct me if i am wrong) nappit is not opensource, evaluation
is 60 days and afterwords we have to pay. i think the backend omni and
openindiana is the only opensource
6. installing thirparty is also a challange defining repository and all is
very different from linux. unlike apt-get (/etc/apt/sourcelist) and yum

i know this might be the best solution out there, but the big problem is we
can not use DRBD on this. they have a paid module for HA.
therefore i decided not to head-bang with this any more. my conclusion with
this app is, it is only good for ZFS and GUI. and i think just learning too
much for only ZFS not worth the effort as ZFS it self is not that complex
to setup.

FreeNAS would be more better for ZFS only in production
NAS4Free also support HAST. but they are *BSD and i have no enough time to
learn something from very start.
