I would like to know if there are any specification document(s) available so that I can refer them on need.

Yes, IPv6 source address should be configured separately. It could be through manual or auto configuration.

I got your point but my question(s) are 1) I agree that if I add two attempts for the same NIC, there will be a warning popup. But my question is whether the second attempt also be tried for connection if first attempt fails to connect? 2) Is it valid to add two attempts where both are 'Enable for MPIO' for the same NIC? I'm not clear about IPv6, you mean to say we need to configure an IPv6 address apart from adding the Attempt? Thank you Naveen -----Original Message----- From: Ye, Ting [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2017 2:01 PM To: Santhapur Naveen; [email protected] Subject: RE: iSCSI behavior Hi Naveen, For 1), if you configure two attempts with iSCSI Mode "Enabled", you will receive an warning that you have configured two attempts using same NIC. If you configure two attempts with iSCSI Mode "Enabled for MPIO", it is valid, and if the first attempt failed, the second attempt will be tried. For 2), Enabled for MPIO means you have enabled multi path I/O in iSCSI for supporting failover. For 3 and 4), iSCSI does not allow configuring one new IPv6 address using iSCSI menu so Attempt #1 does not show initiator address. Instead, iSCSI driver will let IPv6 driver to perform source address selection according to the configured iSCSI target IP address. You need assign IPv6 source address using ifconfig6 or autoconfiguration before using iSCSI on IPv6 stack.

Please help me out. 1. If I have added two attempts and are enabled for the same MAC, if the first attempt fails to connect, will the second attempt be tried? 2. If answer to the above is YES, then what's the difference between ISCSI Modes 'Enabled' and 'Enable for MPIO'? 3. In our observation, we've found that the behavior is not same when two attempts are added for IPv4 and IPv6. 4. Are there any standard set of test procedures for ISCSI behavior? The following is the conflict Case 1: Attempt#1------Enabled for MPIO------IPv6-----DHCP Attempt#2------Enabled for MPIO------IPv6-----DHCP Actual behavior: Attempt#2 doesn't show any initiator IPv6 address. Case 2: Attempt 1------Enabled for MPIO------IPv4-----DHCP Attempt 2------Enabled for MPIO------IPv4-----DHCP Actual behavior: Attempt#2 shows Initiator IPv4 address. Please provide your suggestions.
