Dear group, We have an iSCSI device which has two controllers, and each controller has two host ports. We also have two networks available. Thus: - controller1-port1 is plugged into network1 and has ip1-1, - controller1-port2 is plugged into network2 and has ip2-1, - controller2-port1 is plugged into network1 and has ip1-2, - controller2-port2 is plugged into network2 and has ip2-2.
The initiator also has two NICs, eth1 and eth2 connected to each network, respectively, and has ip1-3 and ip2-3. Suppose we only have one volume exported on the iSCSI device. This volume now shows up as four different devices on the initiator (which is running RHEL5). I can see in /dev/disks/by-name that there is a link to the devices using each of the IP addresses (ip1-1, ip2-1, ip1-2, and ip2-2). Logically I would want to only mount one of these devices at a time, in order to prevent data corruption. The other devices are present in case a controller or network goes down. I was wondering how i could ensure, for example, if i have the device mounted using network1, that eth1 would be used for the data transfer, as opposed to eth2 which would require additional hops?
