The functionality of that is in package that is called 'multipath'.

Re: Multi-Path Connecitons

2008-07-21 Thread Donald Williams
Are you asking about how to create multiple logins to the same target within
Open-iSCSI?

 In the /etc/iscsi/ifaces directory there is an example file on how to
configure the egress port for iSCSI connections.  By creating a file for
each GbE interface you want to use, you'll have multiple logins that point
to the same target.  (I.e. /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc)  Then you can layer on Linux
dm-multipath to create an MPIO device.

 What iSCSI target are you trying to connect to?

 Regards,

 Don

For more traditional block based multipath that you are probably used to 
  you use dm-multipath, and you can search the internet for info on that 
or read the multipath tools docs. All you should have to do is log into 
all the iscsi portals, and then the multipath tools will create the 
multipath device for you (you have to edit the /etc/multipath.conf 
though). If you search for multipath in the current iscsi README you 
should find some info on setting iscsi params when using dm-multipath.

If you are asking about iscsi's multiple connection sessions then you 
will not find anything, because we do not support it.

Multi-Path Connecitons

2008-07-19 Thread Mail Man

I've been looking through the documentation and can find no reference
for multi-path. Is this feature available under a different name?
