I don't know if there's a way to set unique initiator names for each NIC. A quick scan of the config file didn't show anything. I *believe* iscsid has the initiator name so it's a global parameter. Why do you want unique names for each initiator? What do you think it will gain you? -don On

Thanks for your answer! Yes, by using "#iscsiadm -m iface -I ethN, N=1...6" we can have 6 iSCSI sessions. But now there is the question "HOWTO assign an initiator name for EACH session"? For one iSCSI session it can be found in the /etc/iscsi/ initiatorname.iscsi File: InitiatorName=iqn.1986-03.

Hello, I'm not sure what your question really is. Yes, you can have 6x GbE interfaces on different subnets and run iSCSI over them. What target are you using? Typically, your iSCSI SAN is on one subnet. It avoids the need to do IP routing. Which adds latency and can reduce performance. -don

Dear all, we are running a SLES 10SP2 system with 6 physical Ethernet ports. For instance is it possible to have 6 iSCSI initiators onthis system when each IP of these six ports are belonging to 6 different (Sub) Lans? THX, Rainer --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You receiv
