RE: Block access (iSCSI etc)
by Glenn Walker 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Having worked for NetApp supporting Exchange\iSCSI\FCP, and as a customer using NetApp\iSCSI storage for a rather large Exchange infrastructure, I have nothing but good things to say... it works and works very well. There are some things that FCP does better: - Speed 2Gb/s vs. iSCSI @ 1Gb/s - Resiliency MPIO on FCP has been around longer than MPIO on iSCSI - Track Record It's very old technology by comparison - iSCSI is still relatively new However: iSCSI will likely get a huge boost in speed once 10Gb/s networking hits with full force compared to FCP's next jump to only 4Gb/s. iSCSI costs way less to implement than FCP due to use of generic\commodity equipment (ie, off the shelf Gig-E switches\NICs\Cables) vs. FCP's specialized\expensive gear (ever price a McData or Brocade switch??). I am somewhat biased in my opinion - I know that NetApp makes very good HW\SW and has excellent support... I can't speak to the other vendors out there because I frankly don't know them all that well.

We're currently evaluating a whole heap of different aspects (desktop client, web client, clients for unsupported operating systems, diary/calendar, server software etc etc), two of which are Oracle Collaboration Suite (OCS) and MS Exchange. Both of these require block-level access to disk resources, whether direct attach, across a network using iSCSI, or directly into an FC SAN. Does anyone on the list have any stories - good, bad, or indifferent - about running the above pieces of software using a filer backend, generally over iSCSI *or* by breaking into the FC backend and hooking the filer into a SAN environment? If you do, I'd be pleased to hear them - offlist if necessary. If you're running either of them with a SAN backend which isn't NetApp, that's just as useful a data point. There's a lot of views being expressed in my direction at present which appear to be without foundation, so I'm very interested in any "real world" tales :) Thanks Graeme

RE: Just a spam resource now...

I'd think that moderating new subscribers until they've made a couple of salient on-topic posts that indicate they're not spam-machines would probably go a long way to addressing the issue. I'm not sure if the list owner, or anyone, has time to do that (or what the rate of new subscribers is) though... Simon.

I have to say that what was once a great mailing list is now just a resource for Spam. Is there any way this rubbish can be filtered out? I am getting the same message over and over again...

What's up Anselm, It's sad but it's true that the large groups of women are not satisfied with the size of there husband's machinery. Not only that but their also not satisfied by their activity in the bedroom. Is this true. If so, visit www.dauskandyouseeeand.com/uu/. but that all came to an end when the United States began to negotiate then demand that the Japanese open up trade. Since the Japanese were u affect every other choice he makes afterward. Once you have performed . the vacuity of words in his former society occurs when he is alone in . In taking the independent route, Holden does not look for sympathy or help from either of his parents. Thank you alverto.
