Hi all,

I'm actively learning how to implement this resource : <http://www.open-e.com/site_media/download/documents/Open-E-DSS-V7-Active-Active-Load-Balanced-iSCSI-HA-Cluster.pdf>
(Let alone the replication link, which is a Fiber on its own)

AFAIK, the Windows parts are OK, I've setup 2 teamed NICS (one phys. NIC each), which six VLANs :

eth3 - VLAN 501 = MPIO1a
eth3 - VLAN 502 = MPIO2a
eth3 - VLAN 511 = HB a

eth4 - VLAN 503 = MPIO1b
eth4 - VLAN 504 = MPIO2b
eth4 - VLAN 512 = HB b


The switches have been setup accordingly, with all relevant VLANs tagged on the two ports.

So far, am I good ?

Now, when I read the network part of this HowTo, I see no mention of VLANs on the DSS V7 machines sides. Do I assume they are all untagged ?

Summarizing, the switch ports for Windows Hosts have all VLANs tagged, while on the Open-E side, they are all untagged. Right ? Does this cause no mess between the subnets, since my switches are not all L3.

Thanks for any advice.
