    Our first test was with only one DSS, but we have 2 boxes and we want to build a 2-node DSS iSCSI autofailover cluster + a 2-node Win 2008 R2 failover cluster (with CSV, MPIO) ... work in progress ...

    DSS v6 b4550 iSCSI autofailover with Windows 2008 R2 failover cluster (having still some issues with autofailover).

    2 DSS: 3HE Supermicro X7DBE BIOS 2.1a, Areca ARC-1261ML FW 1.48, 8x WD RE3 1TB, 1x Intel PRO1000MT Dualport, 1x Intel PRO1000PT Dualport.

    2 Windows Nodes: Intel SR1500 + Intel SR1560, Dual XEON E54xx, 32 GB RAM, 6 NICs. Windows Server 2008 R2.

    We use 2 DSS with auto failover and Win 2008 (not R2!).
    In our test we have bluescreen on the virtual maschine during failover (manul failover). Also the iSCSI drives disappear (Computerverwaltung) and appear a second later.
    The iSCSI initiator is configured with MPIO (virtual IP and both real IP's).
    any ideas?
