Hypothetical questions - Server fails attached to Storay array

[cdtech9198]

Hi everyone. I am wondering what would happen if a server attached to a storage array via iscsi fails? I know the data on the storage array would be ok but wondering how to get that data visible again?

Would one rebuild the failed server with same ip hostname and then connect to the storage? Or could one connect a new server with new ip and hostname to the storage device?

thanks.

If the physical server were to fail and would need to be re-built, you would just have to ensure that your server has its iSCSI drivers installed as the LUN and zoning information should already be defined on the array (unless you have replaced your iSCSI adapters). The existing LUN should appear as a foreign disk that you can import back via Disk administrator
