Add connection function type

Hi

 

Function type of  network connection in synergy

 

I would assume that this is not cosmetic but real function for example if this connection is going to be used for iSCSI then function type is iSCSI of course fiber channel is fiber channel and everything else is ethernet

We are about to configure iSCSI so I would asume we should pick this iSCSI function to get offfloading

Re: Add connection function type

If you require hardware iSCSI offload, including LUN assignment and/or Boot from SAN, then yes.  Otherwise, an Ethernet connection can support iSCSI paths/volumes, and offer TOE (TCP Offload Engine) support native to adapters.

Thanks for your reply

I configured boot from iSCSI LUN and it works a charm however I couldnt get it to work with iSCSI type of connection but ethernet

Based on this
