Hi,
I have a few questions about Open-E iSCSI's replication feature:
I want to set up replication between 2 Open-E servers (hooked up directly via gigabit) for my existing volumes in a specific target.
- Is it possible to enable replication for a active/existing volume or do I have to remove and add the volume again?
- If so, is it possible that I might loose any data by removing a volume from a target and adding it again?
- Will Open-E reset the iSCSI connection during this process?
- Does Open-E "lock" a volume in any way while running a replication?
- What happens if I do a replication while "something" (read: a Xen DomU) is writing to the volume?
I'm running
Code:
Model: Open-E iSCSI ENTERPRISE
Version: 1.72.IE00000000.2512
This also makes up another question ... is it possible to upgrade this device without losing data?
On the first server (the one, that holds the data) and
Code:
Modell: iSCSI-R3
Version: 2.32.DB00000000.2863
on the server, that will store the replicated data.
We thought about expanding a volume by 0.00 GB and enabling replication (makes 0.12 GB "for replication) - would this work for activating the replication?
I would appreciate it, if anyone could help me with these questions.
Regards, Patrick
