You say “truecopy” might not be practical ? why ?

If we choose the iscsi path. To have a robust iscsi solution, we need two boxes. How Vmware will react if we loose the iscsi gateways ? seamless failover ?

Moreover, how do you provide DR redundancy with iSCSI ? you’ve got two layers where you need to build a redundancy

a redundant path to two iSCSI gateways and ensure a redundant failover between two storage arrays in the backend
