Re: iscsid: received iferror -38
Does MC/Serviceguard require lun reset support? I now know it requires precise types of accesses and has stricter requirements than a standard shared LUN. I'll ask for further details. -Pierre-Philipp --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.

Building a multipath setup with DRBD in dual-Primary
Hello, Last night i had the idea of building a multipath iSCSI setup with DRBD in Primary/Primary. My idea was/is: I have two machines with a 30GB partition wich is synced via DRBD (i assume everybody here is familiar with DRBD). My DRBD is running fine both machines are UpToDate and they are both primary. On top of /dev/drbd0 i made a LVM VG with the name data, in this VG i created 3 LV's with a size of 5GB. For this e-mail i'll call the machines target1, target2 and iscsi- initiator target1: 192.168.5.199 target2: 192.168.5.200 iscsi-initiator: 192.168.5.198 On both the targets i have created the folling ietd.conf: Target iqn.2007-04.nl.pcextreme:ha Lun 0 Path=/dev/data/lun0,Type=fileio Lun 1 Path=/dev/data/lun1,Type=fileio Lun 2 Path=/dev/data/lun2,Type=fileio So both targets have the same IQN and i tried to create a multipath from the client to both tartgets: iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.5.199 iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.5.200 iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2007-04.nl.pcextreme:ha -p 192.168.5.199 -- login iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2007-04.nl.pcextreme:ha -p 192.168.5.200 -- login This works and i get a total of 6 new SCSI devices, but multipath won't recognize them as a redundant path: r...@iscsi-client:~# multipath -ll 149455400010059580f00dm-3 IET ,VIRTUAL- DISK [size=5.0G][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ 5:0:0:0 sde 8:64 [active][ready] 1494554000100dd3c0e00dm-0 IET ,VIRTUAL- DISK [size=5.0G][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ 4:0:0:1 sdc 8:32 [active][ready] 149455400010092580f00dm-5 IET ,VIRTUAL- DISK [size=5.0G][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ 5:0:0:2 sdg 8:96 [active][ready] 149455400010065580f00dm-4 IET ,VIRTUAL- DISK [size=5.0G][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ 5:0:0:1 sdf 8:80 [active][ready] 1494554000100a03c0e00dm-1 IET ,VIRTUAL- DISK [size=5.0G][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ 4:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 [active][ready] 1494554000100193d0e00dm-2 IET ,VIRTUAL- DISK [size=5.0G][features=0][hwhandler=0] \_ round-robin 0 [prio=1][active] \_ 4:0:0:2 sdd 8:48 [active][ready] r...@iscsi-client:~# Is this a target issue because the sessions are not synchronized between both targets?

Re: issue with /etc/init.d/iscsi start
I am able to run iscsiadm succsessfully now. thank you guys atihsay On May 29, 4:16 pm, Atishay contactatis...@gmail.com wrote: I am trying to run iSCSI initiator on my RHEL host. I ran /etc/init.d/iscsi start but it does start iSCSI deamon. /etc/ init.d/iscsi status does not return anything. when i run iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p Ipaddress] i get error iscsiadm: can not connect to iSCSI daemon (111)! iscsiadm: can not connect to iSCSI daemon (111)! iscsiadm: Cannot perform discovery. Initiatorname required. It is probably because /etc/init.d/iscsi start did not start iscsi deamon. Any idea how we can correct it.

I strongly recommend you to use a primary/standby setup + heartbeat when using dm-multipath instead of a primary/primary setup. With the latter setup you risk to run into data corruption.
