UNSOLVED
ISILON EDGE
hi everyone,
got on my environment with a stretched cluster 4 engines vplex metro cluster over san.
the whole configuration is with XIO and vsphere 6,very fast SAN environment (20 gigbites of dark fiber beetwin the sites)
and off course Active/Active (: now....the NAS environment is N O T Active/Active unfortunately and based on VNX5200 20TB total ssd_sas mixed disks,and i dont want to "lose" the advantage of the VPEX.
so i came up with an idea....
take the NAS vnx5200 and make it a SAN pool present it to the VMWARE,install isilon edge OVF and connect it to the VNX SAN.
im gaining with this move the option to serve CIFS over SAN and to be A/A with "nas" over SAN since the VNX connected to the VPLEX
as FC.
is this possible and supported by vendor.
regards
