Ok, I have two questions, relating to a problem at work, as well as a proof on concept.
We're having major problems with .PST files on our file server, so I'm in the process of setting up one of our old file servers as an iSCSI target, using Ubuntu 8.04 and iscsitarget (iSCSI Enterprise Target).
My questions: This thing has seven (7) gigabit Nic ports, what's the best way to load balance them so I don't have to worry about the connections showing as much degridation.
Second, what's the max ammount of iSCSI connections you would want to a single Gigabit LAN at a time. We're wanting to move our file server off to one of our SAN's, for now we're going to try this with give or take 100 people's .PST files.
Any thoughts?
