Logical SAN
I have a Solaris 10 system (x86) connected to an external usb drive,
I'd like to play around with SAN stuff(learn SAN), is there a way to carve up a virtual SAN on this external drive? I'm trying to figure out an inexpensive(hence usb external drive) way to create a "logical SAN", I guess some way to simulate, dual pathed drives in a "cheap" drive..... Of course, one cannot assume that all SAN's are limited to ethernet and/or to fiber....that would be a mockery of technology.....there might be a way to create logical drives in a drive-space, such logical drives have gotta be dual pathed.....I am able to create a makefile, create a virtual device entry for it and losf mount it etc.....so I'd like to have a logical drive that it multipathed.....some vmware tool may well do this, but, it may not be free.... Interesting article on something similar: http://blogs.sun.com/jph/entry/containers_on_nfs |

I think that the way of playing with SAN is to find an open-source iSCSI server software, install it, set it up to use your external drive, split it to LUNs and such, and set up the iSCSI client in the host OS to talk to this server. -- Maxim S.
