Good day. Found I unable to setup multipath (XCP 0.5) with two separate hosts connecting to same storage device.
Every iscsi target has been sent only it own ip-addresses for target. >From generic linux machine it looks like: 10.1.4.2:3260,1 iqn.2011-04.test:test.test 10.1.4.102:3260,1 iqn.2011-04.test:test.test Those IP actually belongs to different machines but allow to access the same block device. In usual linux I simply add iscsi login process to startup, multipath script and it joins paths just by identical serial number and IQN. In XCP I found I need to serve single portal address with all available paths (IPs) to target. Using ISNS is not very good (i do need to build a HA-cluster for that, and it seems be little overkill). That's kinda stuck for me. Here questions: Can I somehow say XCP 'do discovery targets (paths) from two portals for single SR? If I add multipathed device 'by hand' (f.e. by adding iscsi and multipath processing to startup scripts), can I add it to XCP as 'shared' resource (regardless it seems be 'local' for xapi)? Thanks. _______________________________________________ xen-api mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xensource.com/mailman/listinfo/xen-api
