P2000 G3 iSCSI with multiple servers and one switch

Renato Marchesani — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 13:16:38 GMT

Hello,

I know that this is a SPOF configuration, but I would ask if a configuration with 1 P2000 G3 1Gb iSCSI, multiple servers and one switch for iSCSI communication will work, just temporarily.

Thanks in advance

Hello, yes it will work.

You could still use separate subnets or maybe vlans.

Hi!

thanks for your answer.

I managed to do something like this:

Controller A and Controller B with different subnets each of them connected to a different VLAN on a single switch; dual port nic on dl380 G7 with each port configured for each subnet for iscsi traffic and connected to the correct vlan on the switch.

Now I'm trying to manage the device to be reconnected upon reboot :)

Thanks for your help
