The idea is not to replicate data from production to testing, I probably didn't explain that very well. In our production network, we have a pair of NFS servers attached to a Dell MD3000 disk cabinet. Since I can't directly recreate that setup in ESXi, HAST seems like a good alternative, since it gives me failover access to the same data on my virtualized NFS heads.
