Qdisk is normally used to watch network paths and advertise via a non-network channel (i.e. a SAN) about a node's viability in the cluster... Using qdisk over iSCSI (or gnbd) is doable, but you'd have to have it on a private, iSCSI-only network for it to make any sense. (i.e. treat the iSCSI network as a SAN which only has SAN traffic). I don't know the implications of using TOE vs. non-TOE for your configuration. Someone else will have to answer that one. -- Lon -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
