QNAP does not work with SCVMM 2012 !

Today, I kept trying to add QNAP TS-879 Pro as a storage device using System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM 2012) but I failed every time, after doing lots of research I found that QNAP does not support SMI-S protocol which is needed to connect SCVMM to SAN devices.

SMI-S basically defines a method for the interoperable management of a heterogeneous Storage Area Network (SAN).


This is a bad news to to me, If I knew this is the case , I will not buy QNAP for our Hyper-V infrastructure.
so my advise is to look for another SAN that support SMI-S. Don't buy QNAP until they implement this feature and you can add your request/ vote for this feature :

XenServer the nfs server version is unsupported .

after a power failure , one xenserver powered off and when it came back again, it couldnt connect to the pool storage , I tried to repair the storage but I kept getting this error:
 the nfs server version is unsupported 



I rebooted the pool master hoping that this will fix the issue , but it made it worse, the pool master also lost the connection to the storage, I rebooted the networking switch , this didn't fix the problem either, the last step I did , was to reboot the storage device and then the repair worked.

I hope this will help anyone who face this problem, I searched google and bing for a solution and i couldn't find few old articles that didn't help.
