after taking the time to build a proof of concept and writing the e-mail
you got me thinking. And yes the PBR part on Linux is very complex. And
in the end complexity kills you. So probably using two VLANs, two
subnets, one vmkernel port and portal in each makes things much, much
easier and it just scales as well as the example I presented in my
previous e-mail. However the approach I followed is VMware's best
practice and I have doing it at dozens of customer locations that way
and also teached it that way when working with proprietary iSCSI
solutions for a very long time. But maybe it is time to at least present
the solution with different vlans/subents to my customers. Thank you for
that and of course for this perfectly performing iSCSI target.
Cheers,
Thomas
