Mutiple connection to an ISCSI volume

[To-M]

Are both systems writing to the same target and LUN? If so we do not support this. Just want to make sure before you start spending additional time.

It should work but not with standard filesystem like NTFS or FAT. You need special filesystem for SAN based solutions !

Hi All,

Yes it was to the sam lun and target using different usernames and passwords.
if this is not possible then would it be possible to create different luns under the same target to allocate to different machines..



It was formatted with NFTS.


Kind Regards,

Stuart

I don't know why it is not possible - iSCSI allow that ! But NTFS will get corrupted when two or more hosts will work on such partition.

Please use such filesystem as :

Hi Lucky,

That link does not work, unable to find ducument

do you have another link ? may have go trucated.


But if the ISCSI software (DSS) does not support it, wont you get the same results regardless of what format you use ???

Cheers,

Stuart

I am not sure about the other issue...

But different LUNS under same target absolutely should work...
