I whole-heartedly agree with this post. I've had the same experiences, not more than 6 months ago, with RHEL5.2 as the platform. A hardare iSCSI HBA is definitely the way to go if you need to use iSCSI for primary storage.

I didn't even know that existed.

Does this http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product.asp?sku=3867559&pagemode=ca looks like it?

I can't really explain myself what is the difference between that and a regular NIC, though...

The difference is that an iSCSI HBA looks like a SCSI adaptor to your machine rather than like an ethernet NIC.


Oh, so the HBA does all the iSCSI stuff before the OS boots, so that the server sees SCSI disks to boot from? Makes sense.

Thanks a lot.

Ugo
