Hello All, I would like to know if having iSCSI
initiator software would help in extending the storage capability of the OLTP ? Though the same objective can be achieved by NFS, iSCSI is more CPU efficient in providing access to the
storage. I am imagining/assuming the school/community center would
provide a common iSCSI target to which all the OLTP Laptops
will connect to. Please post your comments and feedback. Thanks and Regards, -Bala ps: iSCSI initiator provides block level access to storage over
TCP/IP Network. With iSCSI initiator on OLTP laptop (connected
to an iSCSI target
over wire-less network) the user can use the storage
as if a local hard disk is present. This software is already part of Linux operating
systems.
But including that in OLTP might call for trimming down, optimizing and
integrating with other OLTP components. |
