Thread: Configure iSCSI failover with MPIO

  1. #1

    Default Configure iSCSI failover with MPIO

    Hi guys,
    I'm hoping someone can help me out, i have read the guide to setting up iscsi failover but i'm confused how i set it up with MPIO.

    My current setup is as follows:

    San1
    eth0 192.168.10.220 - volume replication nic
    eth1 192.168.11.220 - MPIO Nic1
    eth2 192.168.12.220 - MPIO Nic2
    eth3 192.168.13.220 - MPIO Nic3
    Bond0 10.0.0.21 - Web access

    San2
    eth0 192.168.10.221 - volume replication nic
    eth1 192.168.11.221 - MPIO Nic1
    eth2 192.168.12.221 - MPIO Nic2
    eth3 192.168.13.221 - MPIO Nic3
    Bond0 10.0.0.31 - Web access

    Syncronous volume replication is setup and appears to working fine

    So my questions are which addresses do i use for the primary/secondary IPs in the setup also the auxiliary connection?

    do i need to add virtual addresses to all the MPIO nics and connect iscsi initiator to that address? thanks guys!!

    Default

    MPIO needs only 2 NIC (our 4 if you are bonding) and VIP to be set for each then select which Primary Node NIC that you wish to use or the 10.x.x.x NIC.

    Details on how this is done from the link below.
