iSCSI LUN security is user and Mutual CHAP based and seems particularly weak. Ix2 iSCSI feels like a no-frills implementation. In addition, NFS performance decreased after applying the latest firmware update. Performance results were at times inconsistent during multiple runs of the same IO test. With two spindles, I wasn’t expecting grand results but I was curious nonetheless and I also wanted to share and compare with some co-workers who tested their home storage this past week. I’m in it for the vSphere use case so I benchmarked NFS and iSCSI in a way which is consistent with how I’ve performed previous storage performance tests which can also be compared in the VMware community (take a look here and here for those comparisons). Speaking of jumbo frames, what about performance? I was pleasantly surprised to find the ix2-200 officially supported by VMware vSphere for both iSCSI and NAS. My unit seems hot I need to check that fan showing 0 RPM:īelieve it or not, Jumbo Frames support at either 4000 or 9000 MTU: RAID 1 (mirror) with automatic RAID rebuild and RAID 0 (Stripe w/o parity) support as well as JBOD mode also available. The ix2 ships with 2x 1TB SATA-II drives.
