 Hi Mike,

 Thanks for suggestions

 I think you meant,

 echo 1  /sys/block/sdX/device/delete

 I don't see /sys/block/sdX/device/remove in my setup.
 
 I'm not sure: Is it echo offline  /sys/block/sdX/device/state, echo 
 scsi 
 remove-single-device ${host} ${channel} ${id} ${lun}  /proc/scsi/scsi, or 
 echo 1  
 /sys/class/scsi_device/${host}:${channel}:${id}:${lun}/device/delete
 ?
 
 
 To delete a device just do
 
 echo 1  /sys/block/sdX/device/delete

I think the confusing thing is that you don't see a delete in  
/sys/block/sdX/device.

 
 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.

Ah, I see. I think depending on the kernel config options used the
device symlink might not even be there.

 Another related observation and some questions;

 I am using open iscsi on init with IET on trgt over a single 10gbps link

 There are three ip aliases on each side

 I have 3 ramdisks exported by IET to init

 I do  iscsi login 3 times, once using each underlying ip address and notice 
 that each iscsi session sees all 3 disks.

 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!

 You are likely getting hit by the bandwidth-delay product.
 Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth-delay_product 
 and http://www.kehlet.cx/articles/99.html 

 Thanks that helped get my netcat transfer up over 500MB/sec using IPoIB. 
 Unfortunately that is still only about 10% of the available bandwidth.

 I'll keep on tweaking and see how far I can take it.

 Thanks,
 Mark

Hi!

You are referring to networks sockets, not to CPU sockets, I guess. Have you 
tried larger packets (if you can control the LAN). I don't know if open iSCSI 
can do IPv6, but from what I read IPv6 could give better TCP performance. Have 
you checked interrupt assignments for the NIC? I guess your card is PCIe and it 
uses one lane? Have you tried (for comparison) to do just a netcat to/from 
/dev/zero? You have to analyze the groups, hardware, network stack and iSCSI 
separately, I guess. iSCSI can not do any better than the networks stack, and 
the network stack cannot do better than the hardware can.

Regards,
Ulrich


 hit a wall around 3 gigabits when doing a single TCP socket.  To go far 
 above that I need to do multipath, initiator-side RAID, or RDMA.
 
 Thanks,
 Mark
