Garvin,

Any special tricks? I'm having a heck of a time using the latest DSS demo CD to talk to a esx 3.0.2 cluster using a qla2342 controller in the dss server (dual port 2gb). I've got the ports set to target (although my sanbox switch shows them as initiator, seems odd), the lun presented in fc manager, and my esx nodes defined in the wwn manager section.

I got iSCSI working fine without problems. I wanted to redo the testing using 2gb FC cards, I just cannot get the dss luns to show up on the esx nodes, they are all zoned properly, etc.

Any ideas?

Tom

The performance we are getting at the moment is very good we are getting an average combined read/write of 265MB/s using iometer/10 workers/ 10 outstanding io's we ran the same test on a dell AX150 FC and the peformance was poor compared to open-e.

Cant wait for the four GB card to be available.

Cheers
