RE: Iscsi: Fault tolerance

Julian and all!!

The server connects to the iscsi target (Say just a disk) with the help of
an iSCSI initiator driver installed on the server. The NT server thus shows
an extra physical disk present on the server. The sys admin then assigns the
permission to other clients/users to share this target. The clients can then
access this this disk (iscsi target) or any sharable directory on this disk
(iscsi target)present on the server by connecting to the network.

Hope it is clear by now!! If it is not then please provide me your contact
number and I will try to explain you better.

I am sorry if there is any ambiguity but i cant find better words to
explain.

How exactly will the clients use the initiator on the server?

Hi

Consider a case where the clients of a Windows NT server are accessing the
iSCSI target with iSCSI initiator driver installed  on the Windows NT
server
to access a ISCSI target on NET. So all the clients on this Windows NT
server can share the iSCSI target of this server. In case the server goes
down , will the clients still be able to access the iSCSI Target??

I hope I have put my question peoperly. In case not then please feel free
to
call me at +31 624685051
