Fence nodes out through manipulation of mask lists as opposed to logging into switches and fence them out that way, right? Has Windows Server 2008 been tested to work with AoE storage using the R11 protocol version? At my shop we unfortunately do a fair bit of iSCSI work and none of the FOSS iSCSI targets seem to implement reserve/release. I don't quite understand how these commands can be mapped into the ATA protocol. I thought only SCSI supported reserve/release? > Coraid remains committed to simplicity.
