I appreciate the direct answer. Thank you. I was just a little suprised since the previous free version allowed up to 1 or 2 tb

I had a question regarding the free version. Will it now only allow 2 GB or was that meant to be TB? Also, I am curious if it is 2GB why so low.

Since most of the communcation will be with one ESXI server, I am thinking about just connecting the ISCSI box and the esxi box directly w/o bothering with a switch. I would use the second interface on the ESXI box for everything else. Is there any reason this wouldnt/shouldnt be done?

i should have put MB not mb. I am getting about 30-50% wire speed. I have applied some of the optimizations, however my switch will only go to 2k for frames not 9k. I have not applied that change as of yet but I have all offloading enabled, and have a seperate VLAN set up just for ISCSI, in which bo...

sort of got it figured out. the same vlan that my vmware management interface is in had a route map applied in my cisco 3550, which was causing the switch to get killed whenever that massive IO came accross. I moved the management plane to another vlan and the problem went away I am not getting the ...

yes i use pre allocated

I have created seperate raid arrays for the image files(not 100% sure how my contrller does this on the backend but thats where its done). I am running pure gig(cisco gig 3550 switch). When I was trying disk bridge, I was actually getting decent performance but had other issues, and it is not flexib...

I have a simple SAN server set up with an LSI 84016E raid controller, a tyan dual opty board with a single dual core 2g opteron, 4g of ram, running server 2003 R2. I have a few targets set up on different arrays, using imagefiles. I am lucky to get10MB/s performance on any targets, whether it be fro...
