First, as we are talking on iscsi which works with the IP stack (route lookups, ARPs, etc), I assume that when you say that a card/port is loaded or being setup you mean that the card/port is up and running AND the setting of the IP stack is done, correct? Second, sessions are bounded to target portals which are <DST IP, DST Port>, so even if you add a src IP/Port association, over time, this IP can bounded to the one card/port and later to second port or second card/port, eg under HA/bonding or admin/route change or taking out bad card and replacing it with another. So, I still don't see what's the design here, and since I don't want to waste your time nor fill people's inboxes, maybe you can do the bnxi HA implementation with these ideas and then we can see if/how to apply them to iser? Your other points on PCI hotplug are very interesting and important. I must say that I didn't do yet tests such as unplug card and plug new one when the system is up, etc. Or. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
