Ok, I looked into Python sources of ceph-iscsi-{cli,config} and
found that per-host configuration sections use short host name
(returned by this_host() function) as their primary key.
So I can't trick gwcli with alternative host name like p10s2
which I put into /etc/hosts to denote my second IP,
as this_host() calls gethostname() and further code
disregards alternative host names at all.
I added 192.168.201.231 into trusted_ip_list,
but after 'create p10s2 192.168.201.231 skipchecks=true'
I got KeyError 'p10s2' in gwcli/gateway.py line 571
Fortunately, I found a way to edit Ceph iSCSI configuration
as a text file (rados --pool rbd get gateway.conf gateway.conf)
I added needed IP to the appropriate json lists
(."gateways"."ip_list" and."gateways"."p10s"."gateway_ip_list"),
put the file back into RADOS and restarted rbd-target-gw
in the hope everything will go well
Unfortunately, I found (by running 'targetcli ls')
that now it creates 2 TPGs with single IP portal in each of them
Also, it disables 1st TPG but enables 2nd one, like this :
o- iscsi [Targets: 1]
| o- iqn.2018-06.domain.p10s:p10s [TPGs: 2]
| o- tpg1 [disabled]
| | o- portals [Portals: 1]
| | o- 192.168.200.230:3260 [OK]
| o- tpg2 [no-gen-acls, no-auth]
| o- portals [Portals: 1]
| o- 192.168.201.231:3260 [OK]
And still, when I do '/disks create ...' in gwcli, it says
that it wants 2 existing gateways. Probably this is related
to the created 2-TPG structure and I should look for more ways
to 'improve' that json config so that rbd-target-gw loads it
as I need on single host.

Well, ok, I moved second address into different subnet
(192.168.201.231/24) and also reflected that in 'hosts' file
But that did not help much :
/iscsi-target...test/gateways> create p10s2 192.168.201.231 skipchecks=true
OS version/package checks have been bypassed

I see this mentioned in Ceph-iSCSI-CLI GitHub issues
https://github.com/ceph/ceph-iscsi-cli/issues/54 and
https://github.com/ceph/ceph-iscsi-cli/issues/59
but apparently without a solution
So, would anybody propose an idea
on how can I start using iSCSI over Ceph acheap?
With the single P10S host I have in my hands right now?
Additional host and 10GBE hardware would require additional
funding, which would possible only in some future.
Thanks in advance for your responses
