Hi Jason, Thank you so much for all of the information. This really provides some good insight on the integration of iSCSI with LIO. Lets hope that kernel folks can work fast ahah Sam On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 12:48 PM, Jason Dillaman wrote: > Yeah -- the issue is that if nodeA is the active pa

Hi Sam, Pacemaker will take care of HA failover but you will need to progagate the PR data yourself. If you are interested in a solution that works out of the box with Windows, have a look at PetaSAN www.petasan.org It works well with MS hyper-v/storage spaces/Scale Out File Server. Cheers /Ma

Yeah -- the issue is that if nodeA is the active path and Windows issues some PRs, then if nodeA fails and nodeB is promoted to the active path, those PRs won't exist and Windows will balk and fail the device. I've seen some posts online w/ folks writing custom pacemaker resource scripts to try to

Hmm :( Even for an Active/Passive configuration? I'm guessing we will need to do something with Pacemaker in the meantime? On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 12:37 PM, Jason Dillaman wrote: > I can probably say that it won't work out-of-the-gate for Hyper-V > since it most likely will require iSCSI persis

We are working hard to formalize active/passive iSCSI configuration across Linux/Windows/ESX via LIO. We have integrated librbd into LIO's tcmu-runner and have developed a set of support applications to managing the clustered configuration of your iSCSI targets. There is some preliminary documentat

Hi Sam, We use SCST for iSCSI with Ceph, and a pacemaker cluster to orchestrate the management of active/passive presentation using ALUA though SCST device groups. In our case we ended up writing our own pacemaker resources to support our particular model and preferences, but I believe there
