Hi,
I got used to fibre channel san storage. When I create a lun I can share it across all servers grouped in a zone (set up in a fc switch). It`s like a folder shared to a group of users in AD. So, in FC world it`s easy part.
I`d like to do it in MS world using some 2012r2 servers: ADDS and iscsi targets. After all, MS requires iscsi disks need to have iscsi initiators. The hard part is I can`t just group servers` accounts into a few global AD security groups (called for example: zone1, 2 ...) and then publish zones as iscsi initiators (as I can do with FC switch).
My idea is to provide flexible storage solution that can be managed with minimum administrative effort. This is because we have many virtual environments in datacenter, so server`s and network architecture is very variable (sometimes: daily). Publishing each day tons of new iscsi links to each iscsi targets is a waste of time, much better thing is to group / team servers (just like grouping computers for GPO purposes).
Thanks,
Jerry
