Hi All
I'm looking to add a new host to my oVirt lab installation.
I'm going to share out some LVs from a separate box over iSCSI and will
hook the new host up to that.
I have 2 NICs on the storage host and 2 NICs on the new Ovirt host to
dedicate to the iSCSI traffic.
I also have 2 separate switches so I'm looking for redundancy here. Both
iSCSI host and oVirt host plugged into both switches.
If this was non-iSCSI traffic and without oVirt I would create bonded
interfaces in active-backup mode and layer the VLANs on top of that.
But for iSCSI traffic without oVirt involved I wouldn't bother with a
bond and just use multipath.
From scanning the oVirt docs it looks like there is an option to have
oVirt configure iSCSI multipathing.
So what's the best/most-supported option for oVirt?
Manually create active-backup bonds so oVirt just sees a single storage
link between host and storage?
Or leave them as separate interfaces on each side and use oVirt's
multipath/bonding?
Also I quite like the idea of using IPv6 for the iSCSI VLAN, purely down
to the fact I could use link-local addressing and not have to worry
about setting up static IPv4 addresses or DHCP. Is IPv6 iSCSI supported
by oVirt?
Thanks, Ben

No, we do not. There has been some work in the area[1], but I'm not sure it
is complete.

Thanks for the replies.
By iSCSI bonding, do you mean the oVirt feature "iSCSI multipathing" as
mentioned here
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Storage/ ?
Separate links seems to be the consensus then. Since these are links
dedicated to iSCSI traffic, not shared. the ovirtmgmt bridge lives on
top of an active-backup bond on other NICs.

I assume it should be separate VLANs for running separate physical
fabrics if desired.

Depends on your network architecture. Doesn't have to be.

Take a look at this Ben:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D1474904
oVirt is a little bit different with iSCSI MPIO.
So what's the best/most-supported option for oVirt?
Manually create active-backup bonds so oVirt just sees a single
storage link between host and storage?
Or leave them as separate interfaces on each side and use oVirt's
multipath/bonding?
Also I quite like the idea of using IPv6 for the iSCSI VLAN, purely

Hi All
I'm looking to add a new host to my oVirt lab installation.
I'm going to share out some LVs from a separate box over iSCSI and will
hook the new host up to that.
I have 2 NICs on the storage host and 2 NICs on the new Ovirt host to
dedicate to the iSCSI traffic.
I also have 2 separate switches so I'm looking for redundancy here. Both
iSCSI host and oVirt host plugged into both switches.
If this was non-iSCSI traffic and without oVirt I would create bonded
interfaces in active-backup mode and layer the VLANs on top of that.
But for iSCSI traffic without oVirt involved I wouldn't bother with a
bond and just use multipath.
From scanning the oVirt docs it looks like there is an option to have
oVirt configure iSCSI multipathing.
So what's the best/most-supported option for oVirt?
oVirt support only multipath devices, so the best way is to use multipath
features.
Manually create active-backup bonds so oVirt just sees a single
storage
link between host and storage?
This will always be on top of multipath device, giving you the same
capabilities, so why would you want to do that?
Or leave them as separate interfaces on each side and use
oVirt's
multipath/bonding?
Yes.
Also I quite like the idea of using IPv6 for the iSCSI VLAN, purely down
to the fact I could use link-local addressing and not have to worry
about setting up static IPv4 addresses or DHCP. Is IPv6 iSCSI supported
by oVirt?
Thanks, Ben

If the link is not only for storage traffic, then it makes sense to use
bonding.
Active-Active is much better, of course, if possible.
