Hello,

I’ve skipped this message entirely yesterday. So this is per design? Because the best practices of iSCSI MPIO, as far as I know, recommends two completely separate paths. If this can’t be achieved with oVirt what’s the point of running MPIO?

With regular storage it is quite easy to achieve using 'iSCSI bonding'.
I think the Dell storage is a bit different and requires some more investigation - or experience with it.

May we ask for a bug fix or a feature redesign on this?

MPIO is part of my datacenter, and it was originally build for running XenServer, but I’m considering the move to oVirt. MPIO isn’t working right and this can be a great no-go for me...

I’m willing to wait and hold my DC project if this can be fixed.

Any answer from the redhat folks?

Thanks,
V.
