iSCSI failover with a EMC Celerra filer

[teknogroup]

I read a lot of posts about iSCSI failover but I was not able to find a valid response about my problem.

My EMC Celerra filer has two links to two switches but only one of these is ACTIVE, the other is connected to its standby datamover and thus is PASSIVE.

If ESX iSCSI vSwitch has two NICs connected to both switches, traffic doesn't flow because one path is "passive".

What's the best setup to achieve redundancy at every level (like a SAN)?

Hi,

I am searching for a spefic answer that might be common. I am using iSCSI and datamover failover takes too long, 600 seconds. Do you have any experince such a kind?

Thanks in advance.
