I have to correct you :)
We did some tests with vcb and iscsi, it works fine, but vcb in general
was not very convenient.
And the other thing is that the iscsi implementation in esx is horrible.
Use NFS to earn more flexibility and an even better performance.
That's the experience we've made.

VCB = VMWare Consolidated Backup?
AFAIK, it is not an option in an iSCSI environment[1] ... if this is not
the case, do correct me as we are aggressively pursuing iSCSI on our
3020s as a prod means to store vmdks for ESX. :)
