Hello, I'm implementing some code to automagically configure iscsi connections to a proprietary array. This array has it's own specific MPIO drivers, and does not support DM-Multipath. I'm trying to get a handle on the differences in redundancy provided by the various layers involved in the connection from host to array, in a generic sense.
The array has two iSCSI ports per controller, and two controllers. The targets can be seen through any of the ports. For simplicity, all ports are on the same subnet. I'll describe a series of scenarios, and maybe someone can speak their level of usefulness, redundancy, gotchas, nuances, etc: scenario #1 Single NIC, default iface, login to all controller portals. scenario #2 Dual NIC, iface per NIC, login to all controller portals from each iface scenario #3 Two bonded NICs in mode balance-alb Single NIC, default iface, login to all controller portals. scenario #4 Dual NIC, iface per NIC, MPIO driver, login to all controller portals from each iface Appreciate any advice, Thanks, -C -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
