This also makes failover more easy, as volumes are already shared via iscsi on both nodes. I have to poke it next week to see performance numbers, I could imagine it plays within expected iscsi performance, or it should atleast.

This is more complicated than the more commonly used, simpler method: 1. create iscsi volume on Node-B, share to Node-A 2. zpool create mypool mirror local-vdev iscsi-vdev -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
