greetings, I just spent some time working on setting up an ISCSI cluster on vmware workstation 5.5.x. the process was fairly simple but i did face performance issue because i was running 4 virtual machines! 1x AD system 1x Linux system 2x Cluster nodes I had issues getting the windows to work as having allocated little memory and running of the same SATA drive was a bit too much swapping for the RPC to work properly. I added more ram to my system and fired up resolving all my windows related issues. I resolved the ISCSI target by running it of a Linux system using Linux Enterprise Iscsi Target. I quickly compiled it and tackled the config file and presto! it was ready! the downside to this is that its still under development, hence maybe not the best idea for full production use but suffices perfectly for test setups on a vmware workstation environment. I used microsoft iscsi initiator software and all worked well. I had my cluster up and running with no other issues. my next task is to setup a RHEL cluster GFS based on the same setup.
