Example of 10GbE iSCSI Cluster Configuration

The following examples show the best-practices configuration for 10GbE iSCSI clusters.

  • Client network – Each FS8600 controller has multiple connections to each stacked Ethernet switch.
  • SAN/Internal network – Each FS8600 controller has multiple connections to the stacked internal/SAN network Ethernet switches.
    • Internal traffic between the FS8600 controllers is untagged.
