Hi Noci,
If I keep the iSCSI Switch and LAN Switch seperated, how do I replicate the iSCSI SAN to the remote site? Do I link one UTP cable between the iSCSI switch and LAN switch?
Thanks.

Is there any documentation on how to hook up the iSCSI SAN and the IP addressesing to setup for the servers to the iSCSI SAN?

Prefereably over a separate link ;-), if that cannot be done you most probably will losse the Jumbo frame capability too.
(I don't know if you have multiple VLAN's to remote or one IP link..)
With multiple VLAN's try to keep them separate in a trunk link, if you only have a single IP connections you have to mix the traffic.

It's best if you have your storage network completely separated from your other network.
Then normal traffic won't cause delays for storage IO.
Also if your storage network is all Gigabit (with support for Juboframes on all network ports) you could use Jumbo frames there enhancing data throughput. (that can't be mixed nicely with normal ethernet frames).
Any IP address rand would do there as long as it doesn't have the same address on your regular network.
