Does my Hyper V server need another network card for dedicated iscsi transmissions?
Does the SAN use one network card to connect to the LAN and another for dedicated ISCSI connections?
And should I use a seperate switch (not connected to my lan) just to connect the ISCSI dedicated card in the storage server - to a 3rd network card (making that the 3rd network card in my hyper v server) in the Hyper V server for dedicated ISCSI.
so it looks like this
STORAGE SERVER ******* Switch*******Hyper V server
* ----------------------------------------------* *
* ----------------------------------------------* *
* --------------------------------------------- * *
************LAN SWITCH***************
Each star represents a connection from a network card. 3 connections in Hyper V server and 2 from data server.
Or is there just a white paper or socuments that can help me with this?
