Hi! I am attempting to have a diskless iscsi-based server stay alive during a target host failover. Basically, my situation is as follows: * The iscsi target is on a 2-node HA cluster. * I can boot the initiator against either machine in the node. * I can disconnect and reconnect the network cable on the initiator node, and it resumes communication with its chosen node. * Migrating the iscsi target from one node to the other causes the connection to completely die.
I have configured other iscsi targets and initiators that are able to reconnect in the event of a resource migration or target-node failover. However, I suspect there is something to the fact that my diskless server is using iscsistart, and not iscsid, to make the connection. Obviously, starting iscsid after boot brings terrible evil to my server, causing it to go insane and die for lack of file system access. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Server; the iscsi-install went beautifully, the machine can boot, run, and reboot without issue. Only when the target is failed-over from one backing node to the other do I see this failure occur. (I have the IP address migrating with the target, and verified that everything works correctly for at least booting - as I said, I've done this before with non-boot iscsi initiators, and it works wonderfully there.) Any ideas on what I could/should be doing to make this work correctly? Thanks! -- Matthew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
