    Jonathan,

    We run exclusively iSCSI for our Exchange environment (50,000+ seats), so it's pretty important if we are going to get meaningful data.  I understand that you feature-set is locked down, so I look forward to seeing it as soon as possible.

    Ooof - that's a definite "must-have" for you then. Would you still use the tool if all it could give you was CPU and network data, or is iSCSI performance a critical issue

    In the meantime, you can use the current release to approximate iSCSI link utilization by using a SAN in the model.

    Setup: SAN switch <-> computer <-> LAN switch

    1. Choose the SAN interconnect speed to be the same as the NIC speed for the computer whose link you would like to analyze.  Right now, this speed can only be 1 Gb/s.
     
    2. Run simulation.

    3. In the results section, filter by the computer whose link you would like to analyze.  Next filter by resource="SanInterconnect".  Note the SAN interconnect utilization.  Next filter by computer and resource="Nic".  Note the NIC utilization.  Add SAN interconnect utilization to NIC utilization. 

    This combined utilization is an approximation to iSCSI link utilization.  Note that the approximation becomes poorer as the SAN interconnect or NIC utilization increases because of link contention effects.

    It's not there right now because iSCSI support for Exchange was announced after we locked down our feature set. I haven't checked market penetration figures for iSCSI recently - is this a "must have", or a "nice to have" :)
