Hi All,
Welcome to my blog!
I will be using this space to share our work with technology focusing on HP Enterprise Systems, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Microsoft Business Apps, Data Protection and business continuity. All HW will be based on HP ProLiants/3PAR StoreServ 7200/HP StoreVirtual/HP StoreOnce/HP Network & HP Data Protector - Hope that this will be helpful and feel free to engage to discuss further setups, share ideas and architectures to better server our customers :-)
Keep Well and Enjoy my 1st blog :-)
This is a VM generating traffic on our VirtualSystem Cluster – (RDS VM) -> ESXTOP with four paths and RR per iSCSI MSFT Target being provided by our iscsisrv (still miss to create some load-balancing) and a cluster service to failover the 3PAR VV Disks in cause of hw issues on the current node!

I
am positively surprised that the conversion from 3PAR TP VV via FC to a Windows
2012 Storage Server (DL380G5) and then formatted in NTFS 64K and then providing
VHDs and being exported as iSCSI Targets, that VMware/VM do not register any
significant latency nor any crazy WSS HW resource utilization! A good
alternative to expand the lifetime of existent servers to shift them around.
I
will be soon introducing as well iSCSI D2D Backup via DP7.x and I will keep you
posted
This
is our iSCSI Server bridging the iSCSI Targets to our VirtualSystem VMware
Cluster and getting direct access to the 3PAR
Interesting
to note is that our iSCSI GW Server, does not seem to have a big burden to
export the 3PAR Volumes (thin provisioned on Raid6) over iSCSI (2x 1GbE) to our
VMware Cluster and providing it with 4 available paths per target with RR ..
this is a 3 to 4 year old server J
I will keep on publishing our lab results and how HP Technology is the best suited to run VMware/Microsoft Virtualization Platforms and any Microsoft workload being protected by HP Data Protector & StoreOnce technology and powered by HP Networks.
