iSCSI architecture overview

The solution presented in the following diagram is based on a NAS or a SAN and iSCSI protocol for storage traffic.

To implement this solution, the following hardware are required:

  • At least two Hyper-V nodes for high availability (three or more are recommended)

    • Two NICs dedicated to iSCSI traffic

    • Two NICs dedicated to management, clustering, live migration, and VM networks

  • At least two Ethernet switches. The speed of the Ethernet port must be related to the speed of the NAS or SAN Ethernet port and Hyper-V NICs. For example, if you have bought a NAS with 10 GB/s NIC, you should also buy 10 GB/s switches.
