Not very stable? I suggest you to review your environment for we've lot of W2K3 systems and heavy apps (SPS, E2K3, E2K7, SQL fm 2K to 2K5...) using Snapdrive (fm 4.x to 5.x) and SManager since months with no issues at all...(fiber and iSCSI)
all our servers are vanila installs (new setups) win 2k3 64 bit fully patched, mpio from MS is installed iscsi from MS is installed snapdrive 5.0 is installed hosts are tied into AD. local user on host is snapdrive, also created a user on the filer "snapdrive", added user to Administrators group. snapdrive runs as the local user "snapdrive" created volumes, shared them to everybody via cifs when i go to snapdrive on the host side, i keep getting RPC errors, however i can see the volumes, and can create luns, but can not mount the luns.
to summarize
do i actually need snapdrive to mount luns ? or can this be done, via windows drive mapping ? if via drive mapping, how would i expand a volume ?
