Subject: What happens if an iSCSI target resets.


I am thinking of a 2 node cluster that sync the disks via DRBD.

I have seen some articles about using multipath and 2 independent
targets but have also seen generic problem descriptions of using
multipath in the face of failures.

I was thinking of using a floating IP address for the target  and using
the clustering/HA glue to make it move between servers.

When you say floating IP's does that mean they will not be static? That might not work very well with open-iscsi. If we lose the connection or run the error recovery and have to relogin we will try to use the IP that we started with.

Some targets like from Equallogic will have a static IP that the initiator logs into, then the target will tell us about a different IP to use. We then login there and do IO. If we get disconnected though, we go back the first IP and it redirects us again.
