Vmware iscsi Static Discovery showing all ips not just virtual

[ccrichard]

Upon further review, it looks like this is by design and probably is not hurting anything. I think the only time this caused a problem is when I started the iscsi service on both of my open-e nodes.

In failover configuration, only one node is active at a time, so therefore the initiators should only connect to one node at a time, using the Virtual IP.

I see now that I accidentally setup multi-pathing, which is good. I don't think there are any problems.

MPIO to one node is a good thing.
Initiators connecting to both the active node, AND the inactive node, is NOT a good thing. This will result in data differences, breaking consistancy for failover.

I was worried about that, but each vhost has a different Active I/O path. One has the active I/O on the node's physical ip and the other host is to the virtual ip.

This is OK.

In future we will have ability to designate which IP is broadcasting the target, so MPIO can be controlled easier.

Hi, when there will be a solution??

We have multipath with 4 Nics and 4 virtual IPs.
ISCSI discovery shows 8 Targets. The physical and the virtual IPs.
How can I disable ISCSI on the physical IPs??

Thank you for the help.
