[sles-beta] ISCSI issues with SLES12B7 - part1 ( ISCSI Target driver)

[Darren Thompson]

The new "ISCSI LIO Target" configuration tool does not appear to allow
multiple IP addresses to be bound to new targets.

There is a "pull down" which allows a single address to be assigned only.

With SLES11 SP3, I could have the ISCSI Targets bound to multiple host IP
addresses. This allow a "multipath" configuration to be used (assuming both
the Host and 'initiator' clients have multiple NIC' configured on separate
subnets).

With the ISCSI target available on multiple IP addresses, the client could
have multiple, separate, connections to the same target. The clients
multipath driver would then identify these as the same destination and
would configure path redundancy, removing "single point of failue" risk
associated with ISCSI resources from a single NIC/Network/path.

I cannot see how this same configuration can be done under SLES12B7

Darren
