Re: [ovirt-devel] adding new paths to iscsi data storage domains

node.tpgt = 2

node.conn[0].address = 10.251.6.102

Hi Paul, I would like to know the following details: 1) Are the hosts's NICs connected to the storage server located in the same network subnet as the storage server itself? 2) Have you tried to deploy the connection to the storage server using the 'iSCSI multipath' bond that available in RHEV-3.4? ------------------------------ *From: *"Nir Soffer" <nsoffer(a)redhat.com&gt; *To: *"Paul Dyer" <pmdyermms(a)gmail.com&gt; *Cc: *devel(a)ovirt.org, "Elad Ben Aharon" <ebenahar(a)redhat.com&gt; *Sent: *Sunday, 15 March, 2015 12:54:44 PM *Subject: *Re: [ovirt-devel] adding new paths to iscsi data storage domains Adding Elad who tested this feature lately to add more info. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Paul Dyer" <pmdyermms(a)gmail.com&gt; > To: "Nir Soffer" <nsoffer(a)redhat.com&gt; > Cc: devel(a)ovirt.org > Sent: Friday, March 13, 2015 6:25:05 PM > Subject: Re: [ovirt-devel] adding new paths to iscsi data storage domains > > Nir, > > we have added 2 more nics to each virtualization host.
