iSCSI network configuration
Hi Jeff,
Are you considering that there's only one switch sitting between the server and the MD3000i?
If that's true, how the configuration would change if there were two switches in two different networks connecting the servers to the storage array (eg: MD3000i, AX4-5i)?
What about the two switches connected together to form a single network (LAGs between them, as some arrays require this setup)?
And finally, I'd like to see an example of the configuration commands for a pair of switches stacked together for iSCSI traffic (eg: PowerConnect M6220, PowerConnect 6224) connected to teamed adapters on the servers (eg: ESX).
Too much to ask? I'm sure a few DELL users will find it helpful, as there's not too much information about the optimal configuration for the iSCSI network using DELL switches.
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Still, why would you recommend VLAN1 when that is really only supposed to be a management vlan?
