[OpenIndiana-discuss] Linux software-raid with two Comstar iSCSI volumes

[Florian]

Hi,

I don't know where is your problem? You don't know our network 
infrastructure.
It is not so easy to have two redundant switches, no it is even not 
possible.

It would be nice, if we can have two redundant switches, but this was 
not my question!

Sorry, if my first answer was rude to you, but understand me. You made 
the first answer to my question and it did not help!! Your answer had 
nothing to do with my question!
