Having the data as guest attached means that you can easily prepare a new VM presenting the data (via NFS, Samba, etc.), and cut it over without anyone knowing – especially when you are using DNS aliasing. Often times, systems serving up large volumes of unstructured data are hard to update. The VM can easily fit in your standard VMFS volumes. It keeps the footprint of the VM really small.What’s the big deal about guest attached volumes? Well, here is why I like them. The HIT/ME and HIT/LE offer unique features when using guest attached volumes in your VM’s. I’ve been a big fan of Dell EqualLogic Host Integration Tools for Microsoft (HIT/ME), so I was looking forward to seeing how the newly released HIT for Linux (HIT/LE) was going to pan out.
