[itdiscuss] iSCSI Switches

[Dan Barber]

Also Dell 6200 series if you call EqualLogic/Dell, that's one they will recommend.

Since I know you have an EqualLogic SAN (thanks for the sale! ☺) … this is from an EqualLogic engineer when I recently asked about HP switches and iSCSI
HP 2800 bad
HP 2900 ok
HP 3500 better

Subject: [itdiscuss] iSCSI Switches

I  need to purchase a couple of switches for new office areas, but I am thinking that I have (2) HP 2810 switches in my iSCSI network, what if I took those 2 switches out and put them in the regular network.  Now I have to replace them for my iSCSI network, I have looked at both HP 3500yl and HP 2910 switches, both have great throughput and handle Flow-control and Jumbo Packets.  I have been reading everything I can find and looking all over the internet for options, now I am just looking for some feedback on what others are using and what has worked well for them.
