Performance Monitor and iSCSI

[hixont]

Given a recent sync channel failure I found my SAN out of sync and both sides thought they were synchronized. Is it possible to utilize Performance Monitor to determine which iSCSI targets are the "active" target when a disconnect of this nature occurs in order to determine which (server) side of the target is actually the synchronized/in use target? I have a two node HA configuration with nine HA targets.

P.S. I had an upgrade scheduled to go to 5.5 this Friday which has now been bumped forward following this issue.

1. You can see in SMC amount of iSCSI connections - the most secure way to see if node is synchronized
2. You can see it in status window (right down side) - second most secure way to see if node is synchronized
3. If you use RoundRobin both servers are active, until one of them will go out of sync
