You would want to isolate your iSCSI traffic to a private network not accessable from the LAN. In this setup backups would come over the LAN to the server and be writen to iSCSI over the private network.

ISCSI traffic is isolated.<br />

We have the PS4000 connected to the ISCSI network and to the LAN (for management purposes).<br />
<br />
My question is should this setup be replicated on the DL2100 as well?<br />

Be practise is have your LAN connecting on one NIC at the server and your iSCSI connected to another NIC (via the PS4000)<br />
You could route your LAN through the PS4000, but it makes no sense to.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I am working with my first DL2100 unit and wanted to get some idea on how to go about configuring it. Since we will be using it to backup a PS4000 SAN, should we connect it both to the ISCSI network and the LAN? Should the backups be done over the LAN or using the ISCSI network connectivity?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Dell DL2100 Configuration

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
