Hi, Is anyone on this list familiar with iSCSI? I was wondering if it'd be possible to setup a Logical Volume as an iSCSI target and export it over an IP network for other clients to use. I'm interested in setting up an IP SAN, where the storage devices are logical volumes managed by LVM. There's this company called SANRAD that makes a hardware device called an iSCSI switch. The iSCSI switch is connected to a pool of storage disks on the back-end and to a bunch of servers on the front-end. It uses logical volume management to carve out logical disks from the back-end storage disks, then exports these using iSCSI to the front-end servers. (Check out their website http://www.sanrad.com for a nice flash movie of this architecture). Anyways, some fellow classmates and I are interested in building such an iSCSI switch in software, using LVM and other opensource components. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
