It is. As I said in my last e-mail, the iSCSI support is in the kernel-ib RPM as we build the iSCSI stack from the OFED release. > Also, as you can turn a disk server into an iSCSI target I would think > that this will more and more become an option to create relatively cheap > shared storage for the MDT. Perhaps. Perhaps not. I would think that TCP/IP to the storage adds latencies. Latencies would be quite bad for the MDT. > Any chance that at least the TCP/IP iSCSI initiator stuff is set back to > the RHEL defaults? Is the iSCSI stack in the kernel-ib RPM not working for you? Please describe if that is the case. b.
