Correct to replicate you will need 2 - iSCSI servers. Let me try another way as well.

Server A config:

FC HBA ---> (Direct connected or with Switch) to FC Storage system (DotHill, Infortrend..whoever).

iSCSI Target Logical Volumes created from FC Storage then marked for replication.

Target Volume is set to Source then add mirror IP Address of Destination Server.

Then select the Logical Volume to replicate start task.


Server B config:

FC HBA ---> (Direct connected or with Switch) to FC Storage system (DotHill, Infortrend..whoever).

iSCSI Target Logical Volumes created from FC Storage then marked for replication.

Target Volume is set to Destination then add mirror IP Address of Source Server.

The replicating Source Target Volumes where the data will be replicated to the Destination server not the configuration.

Never mind the DSS on the front end this was incase you needed additional 99.999% uptime and replying to your needs incase this was what you where interested in. But let's drop that configuration as this was not what you need and if you did I would send you a design on power point instead of text.

If you could be so kind as to add your knowledge on the VMware section of this Forum as did others to help them as well

Unless I am missing something you should be successful with our iSCSI-R3 Ent. version as we use lvm2 as well and the open-iscsi we support .
