Hello list,

My setup is described here in details :
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/open-iscsi/ivprFF9hklY/mkVPHo5q1p0J
but now I have another issue.

I'm trying to connect 2 NICs to a SAN that presents 2 ip, and all that is 
on the same subnet and on the same switch.
I read some old comments on old threads (< 2006) that discouraged that, and 
one answer of Mike also said the same :

> I think you might hit some issues or at least not get what you expect
> with both network interfaces on the same subnet, but using the default
> iscsi default iface.
>
> (though I don't understand the very last part after the comma)

But I hoped the situation had improved since, and that some limitations had 
gone.
Indeed, when re-re-re-reading the doc page of open-iscsi 
<http://www.open-iscsi.org/docs/README>, I see nowhere advicing against 
having two NICs on the same subnet.

So I tried and got that :
- both NICs (em3 and em4) can ping the 2 SAN's ip
- With iscsiadm, I'm adding iface0 and iface1, and I specify the MAC 
hardware address of the corresponding em3 and em4
- When discovering, all seems to work well
- When login in, it is failing in a way it seems I'm not allowed to connect 
using both ifaces at the same time.

When trying to log in, I specify the iface0, and the login to the 2 SAN ip 
is working well.
But then, doing the same with iface1 is failing, with a kernel errror 
message :
iscsid: conn 0 login rejected: target error (03/02)
And after having logout, trying the same way around with iface1 first 
results in the same behaviour.

Is it by design that iscsi does not permit the login from 2 ifaces 
concurrently?
I tried to find somewhere in my EMC SAN (Cx3-10) where there would be some 
sort of such limitations, but found nothing.
