Vmware iscsi Static Discovery showing all ips not just virtual

[ccrichard]

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.

Erik

Based on the limited information that you have provided I would assume you are using VMware and I would remove all Dynamic entries of the IP addresses and use only Static and if you have an HA setup w/ VMware make sure the other ESX servers are cleaned out as well before entering in the Static IP's.

Oh sorry,

I don't use esx. Ubuntu server is the client (initiator).
I use iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p "ip".
I was hoping that you can set that only virtual IPs are found.

Perhaps I should open a new task.
