Please, do not use the VMworld forums as a mean to drum up traffic on your blob site.  If you want to discuss or debate something related to VMware. do it here.

The easiest way would be to purchase HP's Virtual Storage Appliance.  This product was orginially released by a company called Lefthand Networks.  It allows you to configure your DAS as an iSCSI SAN and it works perfectly.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll consider it when people stop using the same forum to ask where the nearest casino is to the conference :-)

The difference is I'm not taking traffic away from the forums.  I'm simply asking a questions about other activities to experience while attending a VMware sponsored function.  You on the other hand are attempting to redirect traffic to a private blog.  Why not have a DSA/VMware related discussion here at the VMware forums as opposed to holding it on your private blog?

 

Besides, if I posted my opinion that the HP/Lefthand VSA is the best VSA solution on you Stormagic blog, would you even publish it?

Sure we would Jason. That's the point of giving you the ability to share an opinion. The mere fact that you have shared an opinion about VSA is appreciated. I've posted videos, documents, white papers here etc in the past. The feedback people give us pertains to their experience of VMware and not StorMagic. Folks still have the option to respond within the forum itself.

 

Bottomline, you use the forum the way you want to and I use it the way I want to. I'll let the VMware folks preach forum eticacy to me if anything needs to change.
