iSCSI Interface
An iSCSI upstream configuration is commonly used in Linux, Apache, MySQL,
PHP or Python (LAMP) environments. The iSCSI data connection is totally
separate from the network management connection, described on page 37.
Be sure that your network switch matches speed of the iSCSI HBA card in the
VTrak appliance. Whenever possible, iSCSI data should have a dedicated
network.
If you connect multiple network ports, you can implement IP bonding (port
aggregation) for a higher bandwidth data connection. For more information, see
Chapter 17 of the VTrak S3000 User Manual .
To connect the VTrak appliance:
• Gigabit iSCSI – Connect one or more upstream data ports in the VTrak
appliance to your network switch. Six (6)1-Gb/s data ports are available. See
the diagram, below.

• 10 Gigabit iSCSI – Connect one or both upstream data ports in the VTrak
appliance to your network switch. There two 10-Gb/s data ports. The 1-Gb/s
iSCSI HBA card is not used. See the diagram, below
