Hi,

I am looking at purchasing an iscsi device to use with my system. I have used 
drbd before and would like to have the iscsi device drbd some of its disks to 
another remote iscsi device. I have seen some posts saying that this is 
possible but I am a little confused as to how. (mainly due to my lack of 
knowledge as to how iscsi works).

I am looking initially to use Promise Vtrak M200i devices as the iscsi 
devices. These will then each be connected to their own linux servers. It it 
those servers which will be mounting the drbd drives.

What I don't know is would I have to install drbd onto the promise device (if 
so does anyone know if this is possible). Or can I server up disks from the 
iscsi to the server as for example /dev/had and then let the server do the 
drbd.

Thanks for you help in my understanding in advance :)

Mark
