Has does anyone have any experience using the Cisco Iscsi driver for
solaris 9, with Veritas vxvm.
One issue right off the bat...
Since networking isnt up when Veritas starts, it obviously cant see the
iscsi drives, so it doesn't start them.
The S72iscsi script starts the iscsi driver, then looks though the
vfstab for iscsi based disks and mounts them. I would guess that a call
to "vxdctl enable" between those two step should help the issue. Though
I have yet to test it.
I am assuming DMP wont work, as there is only one "path" to the disk,
via the iscsi driver.
I am not sure how it will behave with the various network type issues.
(latency, etc)
We would like to use vxvm as it give some added flexability, even with
the benefits that a good iscsi array can give. (Host based protection
via import/export, on the fly mirroring and migration, etc)
Any stories,suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
-Andrew
