StoreVirtual SplitNetwork - Direct Connection between nodes
Hi guys,
I can´t find a clear statement for that in the networking guidelines:
Is it possible (and recommendable) to connect the nodes in a 2-node cluster directly, so without a switch in between by 10GB and use that interface for replication traffic? This could save costs for switching infrastructure and remove a possible failure...is that supported?
ISCSI + Management of course need to go through a switch, but only for storage replication traffic it should be theoretically possible....are there any impacts on Quorum availability?
Thanks in advance
M.

Re: StoreVirtual SplitNetwork - Direct Connection between nodes
Hi BadHabit,
No, direct connect is not supported. The storage nodes need a switched connection so they can talk full-mesh between each other. The switch(es) also allow multipath, load balancing and failover from the host side. The product is designed to make use of a switched network and will not have full functionality without it.
You may be able to make it work without a switch, but managing any type of failure scenario is a problem.
