Hi!
I am about to deploy a virtualisation cluster based on a storage server with 10 Gbps interfaces for iSCSI and two computing nodes running VMs in KVM that will access the storage via the 10 Gbps network.
I am trying to find real use cases of people using CentOS 6 as an iSCSI target but can't find any.
Anyone using a configuration similar to this one?
Thanks in advance!
Miguel

Which part of the setup do you need help/info on? Hardware choice for hba cards? Network layout? Setting it up in CentOS?
As you know, if you can't find real use cases involving CentOS, you could look for those for redhat.
Thanks in advance!

I just need to know if a CentOS 6 iSCSI target is stable for production because after reading this
"Setting up a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server as an iSCSI target is not recommended. The example used in this section should not be used in production, and is provided as an example which should only be referred to for basic shared storage testing and educational purposes."
( https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/htm... )
I am a bit afraid ;)
Thanks!

Maybe
don't use docs from ancient past? Or do you want to use EL 5? https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6 /html/Storage_Administration_Guide/iscsi-target-setup.html
