why did one disk dying take down the cluster

why is every machine pointing to the same iSCSI target

why is the SAN at 1% utilisation

Healthcare needs storage that scales.

iSCSI NAS centralizes EHR/EMR, PACS, virtualization, and backup & DR.

Better Storage. Better Healthcare.

TIL what iSCSI stands for

it was something where the address, maybe it was an iSCSI mount or something like that, but it was in the form of a URI and the NASA CAPCOM kept saying "backslash"

In Linux 5.15+, iscsi_target_mod and configfs are namespace-aware. Isolate iSCSI TCP listeners and storage NICs into a dedicated netns, separate from host management networks. #iscsi #netns

[my third eye opening as I connect to an EBS volume over iSCSI from home and open Microsoft Access] you fools. you children,

Woah, why is my NAS so fast today??👀

Migrating the iSCSI stuff over to the bigger pool btw.

the homelab now has a real block storage system.

The MTU mismatch causing silent iSCSI login timeouts instead of explicit errors is exactly the kind of trap that burns hours of troubleshooting. Matching Jumbo Frames end-to-end across the netns and ONTAP is critical. Great addition!

Well I THINK I installed windows to iscsi successfully. Now I need to figure out how to do it, since my nic seems to be ignoring the boot command and ipxe legacy mode isn't doing it.

Host-side netns pairs well with the array side: one SVM, its own portset, SAN LIFs that never share a broadcast domain with management.

What survives netns: MTU. A 1500-byte interface against a 9000-byte ONTAP LIF gives iSCSI login timeouts, not errors.

oh shit, windows 11 has native iscsi support, this is cool as hell

look if we're being honest this all could have been avoided if he had only RDP'd to the FTP and IRC'd the kernel before hot-swapping an iSCSI into the mainframe.

But hey, whatever, laws are optional now. Next thing he'll be deleting System32 before backing up his registry. What even is decency!?

The other day I helped someone better understand what iSCSI is, using a sushi conveyor belt as an analogy.

Still got it.

Niche skeet though.
