Hi everyone,
I have been using an external doubly-connected SCSI enclosure (Dell
powervault 220s) for our current clustering system (Fedora, heatbeat, GFS).
I am now looking at moving towards iSCSI as a shared storage container.
I've been following the chatter for a few months on the list and wanted to
get opinions from the people out there about what their experience has been
like with iSCSI.
Unfortunately I do not have too much money to spend and I do have a lot of
SATA drives lying around, so I'm talking about low end gear at least for
now.
I've seen a lot of press about the Dell/EMC AX100i, but a lot of it
negative -- would be very curious as to people's opinions about that. I've
also found things like the Promise VTrak 15200:

and the EonStor A12E-G2121:
http://www.infortrend.com/2_product/a12e-g2121.asp
which all seem to fit requirements. anyone used those or any similar
products?
also I've spent <30 minutes trying but was unable to get the linux iSCSI
initiator to work with the 2.6 kernel -- has this been done? is it
production ready?
thanks
