Abstract
An approach for achieving fault tolerance and load balancing in iSCSI using the iSNS discovery mechanism or iSCSI discovery session and the temporary redirection mechanism is outlined here. This approach requires no change to iSCSI or other protocols that initiators and targets implement. But the manner in which initiators perform target discovery, support the temporary redirection mechanism, and recover from failed iSCSI sessions affects their ability to support this approach. This paper provides implementation guidelines for iSCSI initiators to follow to support this form of fault tolerance and load balancing.
