Is iSCSI response for...

[noram...@gmail.com]

The installation and testing of StarWind worked fine, now I'm trying
to evaluate better if iSCSI is the solution.What we are trying to do
is to share between 3 web servers a common space which can be accessed
(read and write) at a high speed. I'm not sure now that iSCSI is the
response for that. can you help me?

Hello,

If the web servers are located in the same LAN - there should be no
problems with setting-up and sharing the space between the servers. If
the servers are in different networks - this could require additional
network settings on switches and on the firewall.

Also, if you are using Starwind Server iSCSI SAN in a clustering
environment (when several clients connect to the same target), you
need to do either of the following:

- Either create separate image files per every initiator and allow one
connection only per image, or
- Use Cluster services (such as MS Cluster Service), dedicated SAN
file
systems (Data Plow SFS, etc.) or software, allowing NTFS to be used as
SAN
file system (MetaSAN, or alike).
