does anyone use iSCSI? how do you have it set up?

[Runningman]

We use it at work but we I don't get to play around with it. Why do you ask? are you planning some sort of cluster or san setup?

[nekrosoft13]

just curious, wanted to play around with it

Do you have access to SCSI equipment and some San software?

We use this at work as well. What kind of production environment is this for? Is the SAN server and iSCSI client on a Gigabit switch? If not, I would suggest you just setup a NAS, since there wont be any performance benefits if your boxes have 100mbit connections. You will also be able to access the share from multiple clients without setting up a clustering file system.
