[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: Iscsi: Fault toleranceI'm guessing he means that clients are accessing a server over SMB (windows networking) and the server accesses its drives through iSCSI. In that case, if the server goes down, the drives are inaccessible. Generally, it would be a bad idea to have the clients also able to access the drives directly via iSCSI since they would then circumvent the share permissions the server has set up. Better instead to have multiple SMB servers accessing the drives and do failover at that level. -Nate > -----Original Message----- > > How exactly will the clients use the initiator on the server? > > Julo > > "Sanjeev Bhagat (TRIPACE/Zoetermeer)" <sbhagat@tripace.com> on 31-07-2001 > 18:57:41 > > Please respond to "Sanjeev Bhagat (TRIPACE/Zoetermeer)" > <sbhagat@tripace.com> > > Hi > > Consider a case where the clients of a Windows NT server are accessing the > iSCSI target with iSCSI initiator driver installed on the Windows NT > server > to access a ISCSI target on NET.
