Is it possible to restrict such that each init only sees one separate disk? There is no iscsi initiator or target setting for this. The default is to show all paths (each /dev/sdx is a path to the same device).. You would have to manually delete some paths by doing echo 1 /sys/block/sdX/device/remove When I run fio on each mounted disk, I see that only two underlying tcp sessions are being used - that limits the perf. Any ideas on how to overcome this? How are you matching sessions with devices? It should just be a matter of running fio on the right devices. If you run: iscsiadm -m session -P 3 you can see how the sdXs match up with sessions/connections. If you run fio to a /dev/sdX from each session, you should be seeing IO to all 3 sessions. Thanks!

Unfortunately that is still only about 10% of the available bandwidth. I'll keep on tweaking and see how far I can take it.

Re: Best way to create multiple TCP flows on 10 Gbps link
I had applied the tuning for my 10g link but didn't see much impact. Actually for me tcp is already line rate with 2/3 threads but iscsi/fio read is around 5.5gbps only - with 3/4 fio threads. Perhaps the bottleneck is somewhere else... Thanks!

To delete a device just do echo 1 /sys/block/sdX/device/delete You can also do it through proc if it is enabled for your kernel. No need to offline the device before deleting. The scsi layer will handle the device state transitions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.

Roi, could you test your failure case? Vikas and Eddie, I ccd you guys because it modifies the bnx2i iscsiuio code. There was a issue where iscsiuio was not ready (or the host was not yet ready) and so iscsid would poll iscsiuio for a second or two and it would use the login_timer as a watchdog. A couple weeks ago we hit a issue with be2iscsi where the host was not ready to go so iscsid got code to poll the iscsi/scsi_host. So this patch removes the iscsiuio login_timer use and then also has it use this new common setup polling. For the iscsiuio related changes, it looks like it will actually change the iscsid to iscsiuio re-engagement behavior after the initial 3 failed communication attempts. The old code would delay and re-schedule the login timer actor to retry the iscsiuio communication while the new code would simply failed the entire login attempt. Ah ok, I misread the intention of the code. Let me rework my patch. Should there be a retry limit or timeout to control how long we retry? I was thinking that there could be cases where iscsiuio could not respond and we would want to give up eventually, We have tested this patch for bnx2i and it is working fine. I agree with your assessment above, but will wait for Eddie零 comment on it. Eddie, let me know how long we should wait for before giving up and I will adjust the patch accordingly. Hey, I am just going to make this timeout for this operation 30 seconds. Looking back at some of the threads from when we implemented the original code for bnx2i it seemed like it was only meant to handle a short window where bnx2i/iscsiuio was initializing. Let me know if that is not the case. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.
