ISCSI

could somebody tell me what cani do exactly with ISCI but not on WMVARE what ever i read on the internet for vmware ...

and could somebody show me how to use ISCSI initiator between to dedicated server

Paul Solovyovsky

You will need to use an iSCSI initiatior whether a Microsoft or Linux. You will also need a SAN or a NAS and create LUNs. Once LUNs are created you connect a server via IP.

The SAN/NAS is called a target and the server that you want to attach it to with iscsi will have an iSCSI initiator. You connect via IP and format as a drive letter or a mount.

Hope this helps.

Yes i just understand but i want to know is this Virtual disk which created for lun is available to connect from multipe computers ?

for example do i able to connect it from owner server and from an other server at the same time ?
does performance matter occurs? i mean will it make the system slower then normal network connections ? or normal hdd connection from the virtual disk file hosted server

If you want to open from multiple windows systems you will need to configure it as a cluster. Windows by default is not a multi-access systems as each volume has a different signature.
