Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a solution to run some Xen VM's with fairly significant(up to ~30TB) local storage volumes. We plan to use two Sun "Thumper" x4540's with 48*1TB drives (8 controllers).

I have a few questions, and would appreciate feedback before I try to achieve something dumb or impossible :)
The VMs are expected to be quite IO-heavy, hence the requirement for local storage (not iSCSI) and para virtualization.

Any comments much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Alex
