Datastore on ReadyNAS NV+ disconnects
I have VMserver 2.0 running and have one of my VMs on a datastore on a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+, when ever I reboot the VMserver the server loses the connection to the NAS and the VM can't be found. I've had to resort to deleting the now missing inaccessable VM, removing the datastore and then adding...

Requirement of a shared disk for a failover clustering solution
While it is a stated fact that for a failover clustering solution, the methodology works on the usage of quorum, shared storage (NAS, SAN etc), is there any possibility of not using a shared storage system and yet implement Failover Clustering? Are there any third-party solutions available on the...

Trying to decide on a NAS system
The following question was recently submitted via e-mail by a user: I'm trying to decide on the best midrange NAS system for my money, but I don't want performance to suffer either (naturally). What can you recommend? What have you used and liked? Thanks

Any common tool for measuring controller throughput?
I was searching for a long time for a simple tool which can tell us the controller throughput of any SAN environment. Its necessary for every Storage engineer to have this utility to cross verify the subsystem we buy. Ofcourse the vendor will have the tool or LAB benchmark for the same. But those...
