[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1331753, member: 33722"] All of my VM's at work are boot from SAN (DS8300 and XIV) over fiber. So, it's definitely possible with a decent connection. The physical disk is usually more of a bottleneck than throughput of the connection, and mine at 15000 rpm drives. You wouldn't be competing with a whole network's worth of traffic either so I would have no big concern with contention. Assuming you aren't serving up a very active database to a large user pool, I bet it works fine. You may find that some extra RAM on the host OS helps performance more than anything else as far as passing data through the connection. [/QUOTE]
