OK, i just replace "ISCSI_DEF_XMIT_CMDS_MAX * 2" by 128, "ISCSI_DEF_XMIT_CMDS_MAX" by 64, and remove null pointer dereference from your patch, and i report about successful overcommiting "123 sessions" boundary. Next, i will try to create as many sessions as possible at this configuration, and rep

Hello! About redundancy: we have distributed filesystem (IBM GPFS), on several nodes. Each node have it's own disks directly attachet to it - there is no shared storage. So we use GPFS replication to store two replicas of all data. Disks of virtual machines is actually a files on GPFS. So, to expo

we need at least two targets per one virtual machine, for redundancy. Each virtualization node must host at least 128 virtual machines, so we need to increase this limit. 28 марта 2011 г. 17:36 пользователь Or Gerlitz написал: > Степан Фёдоров wrote: >> >> i can login only on 123 ta
