I Pavel, thanks for the comment.

It could be a nice way to proceed ;-) Are you using it with oVirt?

Some considerations/questions:

- in the past I tested iSCSI offload with RH EL 5.5 (it was late 2010) with some problems; then I also tested with RH EL 6 when still in beta with better results. Not tested more anddidn't go to production as it was not considered crucial. Can we consider it stable in RH EL / CentOS 7.3?

- I remeber that at 5.5 / 6beta times even when configuring offload iSCSI you still needed to configure an ip on the interfaces in OS, because I seem to rememebr the discovery phase (or login perhaps?) happened on tcp and not capable in offload. Is this still true or can I only configure an ip for the offload macs?

- is the offload configuration transparent to oVirt in the sense that oVirt only needs that the hosts see the multipath iSCSI devices, or do I need to make any particular config in oVirt too, then?

Thanks in advance,

Gianluca
