    Exclamation 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,

    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.
    All the best,

    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:
    http://www.gossamer-threads.com/list..._view_threaded
    :
    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.
