Does the Linux (RHEL4 update 4) iscsi MPIO allow failover between interfaces? If I have a single interface set-up with iscsi multipathing to my storage array working, is it possible to add another interface to my host as a failover interface? Does Linux MPIO allow failover among multiple nics?

Right. It's the Linux Red Hat software iscsi initiator and MPIO packages.

I'm running RHEL4 update 4. I've installed the iscsi-initiator-utils rpm (4.0.3.0-4), device-mapper rpm (1.02.07-4.0.RHEL4) and device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-21.RHEL4 rpm. I've got iSCSI MPIO working fine between by Linux host and Netapp storage array. My question - Is it possible to add an...

Thanks all. I took the advice of itsp1965. Network Appliance has great documentation outlining how to get it going. I got everything working fine. Cheers

Wouldn't that software need to come from the OS (host) providor? In this case Red Hat Linux. The storage providor is Network Appliance btw. I know Microsoft's iscsi software initiator has multipath options built-in. I'm thinking that the Linux initiator must have similar options? Cheers

Thanks! There was no mention on how to set-up iscsi multipathing. Anyone have any experience doing that with Red Hat Enterprise Linux?

I was wondering if anyone has performed a Red Hat Linux Enterprise iSCSI install before? I need guidence on how to install and configure the iSCSI software initiator on RHEL4 update 5 (64-bit). I'd like to set up iSCSI multipathing for redundency as well. If you can either provide documentation...

Well, you had mentioned that the AD domain name had nothing to do with the SMTP domain name (thanks, but I was aware of that). I wasn't asking about that. I do know how Exchange and RUS policies operate, but appreciate your comment on me being able to run Exchange migration tool with an...

Right. That wasn't what I was asking. The situation is as follows: Source AD Domain: domain1.com Source Exchange Domain: exchange.com Target AD Domain: domain2.com Target Exchange Domain: exchange.com So, I'd be migrating users, groups, computers from source domain to target domain. If I have...

Like everything else in IT I think it depends on the situation. As I mentioned I've run that config for years in a small branch office with an extremely small # of users/mailboxes. Yes, when you're dealing with multiple administrators with different duties, hundreads/thousands of users/mailboxes...

Thanks. I don't want to change the Exchange mail domain nsme. If I have to install a new installation of Exchange in new domain, can I still call the new installation of Exchange the same mail domain as the first?

Actually, don't worry about answering that. I'd like to keep the thread on topic. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to perform the domain migration, including Exchange?

Well, that's not entirely true :) Yes,it's best practice to separate the two, but I've run Exchange on a DC for many years without any problems. What are some of the most compelling reasons not to run Exchange on a DC?

What he's trying to say is that you set up an Exchange recipient policy for your email domain. The recipient update policy defines which email domains Exchange will accept mail for.

Some good stuff. What about if Domain 1 housed an Exchange 2003 server. Will ADMT ensure that the Exchange server will function the same in the new domain? The mail domain would be remaining the same.
