Hello, I'm trying to understand the benefits and/or use cases for using ifaces with iscsi and am hoping someone can help me clarify them.
Let's say I have a iscsi SAN with two nics, with different ip's, but on the same subnet (10.10.2.1, 10.10.2.2). Both of the SAN's nics are connected to different switches. Now I have a linux server with two nics, with one of the nics connecting to one of the switches and the other nic connecting to the other switch. Each of the servers nics have different ip's (10.10.2.4, 10.10.2.5) but on the same subnet again. Now I setup iscsi connections to the SAN from the linux box to each of the SAN's ip's/portal groups without using any iface config but I am using multipathing. What are the drawbacks or benefits to using ifaces or not using ifaces in the above config? If not using ifaces and one of the switches or nics in the server go down, will the multipathing know to switch to the other nic? even though they are on the same subnet? Thank you for any help understanding this. Romeo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
