Not sure how this would help if one target fails. The card doesn't work any magic making the target always available. We are testing a QLA-4052C card, we believe QLogic tested it as installed on a Sun box but not against Solaris iSCSI targets; an attempt to connect from this card *appears* to cause our iscsitgtd daemon to consume a great deal of CPU and memory. We're still trying to find out why. CT _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
