If you are getting ipv6 addres like above then you need to modify your target. When iscsiadm does discovery the target is returning those ipv6 portals and iscsiadm is just printing out what we got. So basically going back to the problem of the iface portal match up too, when iscsiadm does sendtargets to -p 10.0.0.1, the target is telling us about all the portals on the target. There is no way to ask it just for portals that can accessed though a specific iface. It just tells us everything it knows. iscsiadm will then setup the db so that each iface in /etc/iscsi/ifaces or that is passed into it with the -I argument are setup to access through the target through each portals returned. So if you do: iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -P 1 you will get a better idea of the mappings. I think what you have to do is edit the results by hand: # do discovery and setup with one iface iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -I iface0 When you run this the second time you might have to also pass it the -o new argument so the info from the first run is not deleted. So the second time you run it for iface1 you would do iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -I iface1 -o new --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.

What should I be doing to accomplish the task of assigning only one portal to one iface and no ipv6 results showing in discoveries? The IPV6 is easy. Turn it off in your storage. For the one portal per one iface do this route add -host 10.0.1.1 dev iface0 route add -host 10.0.0.1 dev iface1 And so on. You can also make each of the target portals have its unique IP. So instead of two 10.0.1.1 you can do 10.0.1.1 and 10.0.1.2 and be more selective with the network routing. Looking for final results of two ifaces, 1 portal each, 1 active session each. For that wouldn't you need four NICs? Since you have four IPv4 portals? Thanks, Mark --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.
