Network configuration is persisted across host reboots and so the iSCSI bond configuration. A different story is instead having ovirt-ha-agent connecting multiple IQNs or multiple targets over your SAN. This is currently not supported for the hosted-engine storage domain. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1149579 Just to be clear, when we talk about bonding on iSCSI, we’re talking about iSCSI MPIO and not LACP (or something similar) on iSCSI interfaces, right?

In my case there are two different fabrics dedicated to iSCSI. They do not even transit on the same switch, so it’s plain ethernet (with fancy things, like mtu 9216 enabled and QoS). So I think we’re talking about the unsupported feature of multiple IQN’s right?
