We've got 4 GbE network interfaces on our pilot host (running vdsm on CentOS 6.4) which are connected to our storage arrays (equallogic). I've created 4 interfaces with iscsiadm for these and bound them, but when setting up the discs in oVirt, I've not seen a way of telling it which interfaces to use. The node makes the connection to the target successfully, but it seems its only connecting via the "default" iscsi interface, and not making a connection via each interface that I've defined. Obviously this means I can't use multipath, and being only GbE interfaces it means I'm not getting the performance I should. > > > I've done some searching via Google, but I've not really found any thing that helps.

Hi Dan I work with Martin. The problem we are having seems to be with regards to how ovirt/vdsm manages iscsi sessions and not how our server is connected. I have manually tested iscsiadm on the same machine(Centos 6.4) and we are indeed getting multiple sessions from 2 ifaces with mpio working via dm-multipath, etc. vdsm however does not appear to be logging into the targets using the ifaces we use in iscsiadm, I have tried adding this to /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf, but it makes little difference: [irs] iscsi_default_ifaces = eth2,eth3 Thanks Gary _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
