No. Same target and same LU. I am trying to use the iSCSI target as a
NFS replacement. Doing shared storage. It works. And appeared to be a
little faster than my NFS server's. Which are pretty beefy. But it
didn't seem to be enough difference to change to it. I did not test with
more than 2 servers. It would of been nice to be able to see how much
better it would of handled say 4 server's accessing the same data.
