Performance to 4x 3TB Seagate 7200RPM with Raid 5 Iscsi passthrough

[HoneyBadger]

Any other tips you can provide me?

How do I put my drives in mirrors but still present them as one to ESX?

The mirror/stripe/RAIDZ choice is at the pool level, you'll still present a single LUN via iSCSI. It will just reside on multiple drives.

OK so will after I mirror, how do I present them as one giant pool to Vmware?

Got it! I will work on that tonight.
