Clustering using iSCSI protocol
Clustering provide more space in the system. Your server can be in cluster with other standby to act in case of breakdown of the first server. If you add cluster service technology with to virtual server 2005R2 (VS 2005R2) you increase the capability of the system operation.
Numerous means and ways are there to know the necessity to understand the clustering of virtual server host. Host on VS2005R2 on a windows 2003 can be configured with cluster. In case one mode malfunction in cluster, the next cluster takes over and assists the guest operation system. To operate on two networks adapters are essential. One is connected to the public network while the other is connected to the cluster node to private networking system. Cluster service requires shared disc to which all the nodes are interconnected.
While you run with iSCSI the host will require network adapter and host adapter, dedicated to the storage in cluster. Microsoft iSCSI is necessary for implementation of this technology. Downloading the software from Microsoft website is feasible. It provides improved network coverage. This targeted software runs in Windows and Linux running systems. For such function in Windows and Linux, software like Win Target and NetApp are required.
The iSCSI has reduced the operational cost. Configuration has to be done with the specified host. If you require to use the host, installing iSCSI target software, will suffice. However, while you intend to use virtual software iSCSI initiator software is necessary. Ascertain the virtual machine configured to one of the SCSI virtual disc. Configuring is possible. If the virtual machine is situated on different GSX server host then use bridge networking for configuration.
It is Internet Protocol based and it transmits small system interface to IP packets. This is operated over TCP/IP networks. Since it is IP based the transmission of data over LAN and WAN is possible. To enhance and boost ensure the networking components desired in data path for high bandwidth iSCSI disk transfer. Sharing disk I/O path is not advisable.
