Thanks for your response - adding those multipath snippets did help me
setting up the multipath when I manually login, but as far as I can
tell I have missed something with the login for the hosted engine
deployment, such that on a reboot of a hypervisor it doesn't seem to
discover the aditional hosts unless I do a manual login with:

 iscsiadm -m node -T  -l

I'm wonder if I need something additional in /etc/ovirt-hosted-
engine/hosted-engine.conf to trigger this.

cheers,

Dan

My iSCSI target (ceph-based) has multiple gateways, I’d like to ensure my 
hosted storage is aware of these such that each gateway can be rebooted for 
maintance without impacting service. What is the appropriate way to configure 
this so that each host knows of the multipath configuration? I do not have 
multiple network paths, just multiple gateways on the same network, so I think 
the multipath UI tool isn’t the way to do this.
  
Any help/docs pointers appreciated.

Hi,

I'm also planning to use a 2 node Ceph iSCSI gateway with oVirt. Right 
now I only connected it to my DEV oVirt environment, but everything 
works as expected (finally...), so I might be moving it to PROD soon.


My circumstances and findings:
- I'm only using it for customer VM storage, I don't have a hosted engine
- my 2 Ceph iSCSI gateway nodes are also on the same network (network 
connection redundancy is through LACP bonds for them)
- oVirt storage domain setup automatically finds both gateways when you 
"discover" one of them, you must log into both
- multipath configuration on hypervisor hosts is then automatically set 
up without further intervention. be sure to add the multipath.conf 
snippets from 
https://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rbd/iscsi-initiator-linux/ to your 
hypervisor hosts, so multipathd works correctly (I originally forgot to 
do this...)
- what is called "ISCSI Multipathing" in oVirt on DC level only creates 
iscsiadm "ifaces" (see man iscsiadm), which are not strictly necessary 
IMHO, but are of use in special networking situations. the logical 
networks you use there must not be "required" in Cluster "Logical 
networks" setup


I hope this helps
Matthias
