I have been reading about Windows Storage Spaces and how this essentially creates virtual disks. Theoretically, the rest of Windows is supposed to treat these disks like "real" disks, no matter on which server the data really resides. If one of the servers fail, data can still be read from another server or another client as if nothing had occured.
Now Windows Server 2012 has the iSCSI Target software built in. So in theory, I should be capable to create a cluster of, let's say, 3 servers and configure it to use virtual disks of my cluster above as underlying storage.
I would end up with a sort of a software SAN which has a highly redundant backing storage.
Is this supported? Has anyone tried it, any experience how that performs?
