BareOS as VM storage question

[Sean Hurley]

I have successfully performed a backup/restore. Success!

I have 30TB of iscsi storage to assign to my BareOS install running as a VM. Is it wiser to allow the VM to directly connect to the storage or to assign it as a volume through the host? I'm thinking of performance and reliability.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and tips.

There are probably pros and cons on each for each of those approaches.

If you connect it to the hypervisor, you abstract the connectivity layer so you're more flexible in case you ever want to migrate storage elsewhere. Same but opposite ;-) goes for connecting it to the VM - you don't have to worry about hypervisor configuration. That's the most important aspect here I think. Performancewise if you're using paravirtualized drivers it shouldn't make that much of a difference.
