Greetings:
Currently, my ISCSI setup consist of a single mode vif on the NetApp side - this connects to a dedicated switch for the ISCSI traffic. I have active/passive clusters connected to this switch with dedicated NICs for ISCSI connectivity. On the server side, I run Snap Drive 4.1 and MS ISCSI Initiator.
I would like to change this to the following.
1. Create two multimode vifs (each vif connecting to a separate switch - the switches would then be bridged)
2. Create a second level single mode vif consisting of the above two multimode VIFs - so only one vif is active at any one time.
3. The second level single mode vif will have the same IP address as it is now.
If I make the above change, would this affect any of the currently mapped ISCSI connections? Do I need to re-map it through MS ISCSI initiator - IP addresses are not changing, would this cause any changes on the server side?
Thanks, Darish.
