replication

[To-M]

Resynchronization is only for FILE LEVEL synchronization, while in iSCSI we are
dealing with block level device. Whole new engine is being written
and will be available when ready.

Is the new engine with replication still on track for early July availability? I've been running the ISCSI demo CD and like what I see so far. With replication, our company can sell your product to our customer base.

Just a note on version 1.70 - This is not ready yet please be patient.

Yes! Version 1.70 will be ready. Here is a short description of how it is designed.

volume replication:

Working of the replication is very similar to RAID 1.

The first stage is rebuilding of the destination to be the copy of the
source volume. Next stage (endless) is online modifying the destination
volume to keep the mirror. The difference comparing to the RAID 1 is that,
after any broken connection only the changed data will be 'rebuild' (again
first stage takes place) on the destination.

Note: the replication should be performed on separate NIC and the connection
should be as fast as the main network connection, to prevent lowering data
throughput.

Once you create the Target Volume you have the choice to set it as Source or
Destination to the mirrored server. Replication of volumes should be same
size.

The release of iSCSI Enterprise v1.70 that contains Target Volume Replication is not yet complete. Please be patient as there is allot of high level testing that has to take place in order for it to provide the maximum stability. We appreciate your desire to have this feature as this will provide so many benefits, but we will not release until all tests have been approved by our engineers.
