If you do not plan on using the DSS for the front end and 2 x iSCSI-R3 Ent. on the back using the initiator built in from the DSS then will not be part of your needs.
We currently do not replicate the config (snapshot, backup, users….) only the iSCSI Volumes. But the config can be stored on the module and on your host system.
If possible download the Demo-CD. Over 90% that do usually have all the answers they need. New release to come out next week 1.21 for DSS.
We appreciate any updates to the VMware section and others will too.
Yes this is a great initiator management tool to for sharing this to every one.
I guess it shouldn't be a problem to backup config for each host system...that creates a setup where it is fairly easy to restore everything to a spare node...
For our case the iSCSI R3 dom's would fit great into the plan, but I think we will use the DDS dom's...NFS sharing is always nice to have and the other features might be handy some time as well...
I will download a demo version to try some stuff...but it will be hard to simulate my setup without the FC hardware available
When I find something usefull for this forum I will post it !
