Hi,

Does iSCSI enables redundancy? For example: if I want to have 2 disks
with the same data, can I do that with iSCSI?

Thanks

Thing like mirroring or RAID-5 have nothing to do with iSCSI. Like SCSI or
SATA or FC, iSCSI is just a protocol for transferring data between host and
storage, it has nothing to do with what levels of redundancy might be built
in to the storage.

As to to whether you can get iSCSI attached storage where the underlying
storage has redundancy, the answer is yes, but it's not a function of iSCSI.
