Coexistence with NFS and iSCSI under vSphere 5

[sketchy00]

With a DS1512+, what are others doing when it comes to running multiple protocols (iSCSI and NFS) and vSphere 5? Typically, best practices in vSphere would be to seperate NFS and iSCSI traffic. This can be done a number of different ways; one of which is to have one of the protocols live on a seperate VLAN with their own respective IP addresses, but not the other. I'm not seeing in DSM 4.0 that this would be possible.

You'd normally choose one storage environment and set up your storage networking for that protocol. Why would you use both in the same environment?

Since you use a five disk NAS, the chance that your network will be the bottleneck is slim. Spindle speed is a more likely limit.

Than again, to measure is to know.

I use NFS at home so I can easily move and/or modify the VMs. The three SATA disks are for bulk data only. The lab VMs are on an SSD.
