Win 2008 Cluster SCSI-3 commands

Hello!

Do the current release of DSS support SCSI-3 commands like "permanent reservation", which are necessary for Win 2008 failover clustering??

regards,
Lukas

Currently we do not support scsi-3 persistent reservations due to the extensive amount of development for this we have no ETA at this time.

:eek: I want to build a win 2008 cluster at the end of this year, very bad news ... :mad:

I bought a new DSS, but wthout SCSI-3 I can forget it ...

PLEASE open-e DO YOUR BEST! I think there are many customer who need this feature very urgent.

Thanx!

Currently open source does not support SCSI-3 so this will take time and we are not able to project ETA.

I was cruising the net and I came upon this:

This patch series adds the first running SPC-3 compliant Persistent Reservation
emulation support for PROUT REGISTER -> PROUT RESERVE -> PRIN READ_RESERVATIONS ->
PROUT RELEASE -> PROUT UNREGISTER, tested and running with Doug Gilbert's
very excellent sg_persist command. This was tested against Open/iSCSI Initiators
running LIO-Target iSCSI/TCP, and Core-iSCSI Initiators running LIO-Target iSCSI/SCTP.

I will be adding information about TCM/LIO-Target v3.0 and LIO-Target v2.9 usage wrt
Persistent Reservations on to the http://Linux-iSCSI.org wiki at some point as well,
so folks can get their own SPC-3 compliant PR enabled Linux/iSCSI Targets up and running!

I know that we lost at least one customer because we couldn't do Windows 2008 cluster.

Just a quick update - we are to have Windows 2008 support in the march release - engineers made some headway.

Persistent reservation in a month or so? That's great news!!!

yes - finally and it was allot of work but should make every one happier :)

:D GREAT NEWS !!!! I'm still waiting for setting up windows 2008 cluster ... Please hurry up ;)

March release could happen near the end of March or mid April, this our ETA for this feature.
