Hi,

I would like to know, how to configure multiple iqn names (initiator
instances running) on same machine using open-iSCSI (iscsi_tcp as
transport).

Under a test scenario as follows, I am able to create multiple initiator
instances on the same machine, (but may be its not a cool way to do so):-

1. Start initiator with a iqn name and login into target.
2. On initiator, mount lun and run some IO.
3. Now let the IO to continue but kill iscsid.
4. Now change the initiator iqn name and again start the daemon.
5. Login into the target and start IO.
6. On running iscsiadm -m session -P 3
Its observed that both the sessions are eastablished with different
initiator iqn name and IO is going fine on both sessions.

Is it really whats expected?


No.

Just create a iface for each initiator.

iscsiadm -m iface -I iface1 -o new
iscsiadm -m iface -I iface1 -o update -v iface.initiatorname yourname

iscsiadm -m iface -I iface2 -o new
iscsiadm -m iface -I iface2 -o update -v iface.initiatorname yourothername

iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip -I iface2 -I iface1 -P 1

iscsiadm -n node -I iface1 -l
iscsiadm -n node -I iface2 -l
