RE: experience with iSCSI from W2K3 servers?
by Hill, Aaron 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Win2k3 and the latest Microsoft iSCSI initiator handling the connection to a LUN sitting on a FAS960. A moderately active 5Gb MS-SQL database is mounted on the LUN. Transaction log on the local Win2k3 server. The LUN itself is only 10Gb, so it is only small. We also have another system mapping a ~100Gb iSCSI LUN mounted on the same physical volume. This is used to hold a backup image catalog. Flat files, no SQL databases. HP DL360 and 380 servers. No dedicated HBA's for iSCSI. No clustering here. The iSCSI path is shared with other traffic over gigabit fibre. i.e. No dedicated LAN. We have not had any performance or contention issues of any kind related to iSCSI. I evaluated the clustering as part of a solution and would strongly advise the use of a dedicated network path for the iSCSI connections to the cluster quorum and shared SQL database. In fact, I believe that it is required by Microsoft for the solution to be supported.

At a recent NetApp presentation it was mention in passing that RAID-DP fails if a double disk failure happens to hit the two parity disk. Is this true ? George
