Hello Norman, Thank you so much for your response, and that is an interesting setup.

How are these sprase file images initially built for each VM's virtual hdd? And can this process be automated. >> So life migration is possible, other than holding the VMs on local >> storage. I can understand that. >> Our never clusters are equipped with hosts using 10 gigabit ethernet. >> Two 10GE ports are bonded to provide redundancy and balancing.

I guess also with this setup replication would be handled by rsync? If so, the potential of this setup really starts to shine. WOW, from NAS to SAN? Kind Regards, Nick.
