iscsiadm for these and bound them, but when setting up the discs in oVirt,
I've not seen a way of telling it which interfaces to use. The node makes
the connection to the target successfully, but it seems its only connecting
via the "default" iscsi interface, and not making a connection via each
interface that I've defined. Obviously this means I can't use multipath, and
being only GbE interfaces it means I'm not getting the performance I should.

Hi Dan

I work with Martin.

The problem we are having seems to be with regards to how ovirt/vdsm manages
iscsi sessions and not how our server is connected. I have manually tested
iscsiadm on the same machine(Centos 6.4) and we are indeed getting multiple
sessions from 2 ifaces with mpio working via dm-multipath, etc.

vdsm however does not appear to be logging into the targets using the ifaces
we use in iscsiadm, I have tried adding this to /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf, but it
makes little difference:

[irs]
iscsi_default_ifaces = eth2,eth3

Thanks

Gary
