4:14 p.m.
I have an existing 4.2 setup with 2 hosts, both with a quad-gbit NIC and
a QNAP TS-569 Pro NAS with twin gbit NIC and five 7k2 drives. At
present, the I have 5 VLANs, each with their own subnet as:
1. my "main" net (VLAN 1, 172.16.7.0/24)
2. ovirtmgmt (VLAN 100, 192.168.100.0/24)
3. four storage nets (VLANs 101-104, 192.168.101.0/24 - 192.168.104.0/24)
On the NAS, I enslaved both NICs into a 802.3ad LAG and then bound an IP
address for each of the four storage nets giving me:
* bond0.101@bond0: 192.168.101.101
* bond0.102@bond0: 192.168.102.102
* bond0.103@bond0: 192.168.103.103
* bond0.104@bond0: 192.168.104.104
The hosts are similar, but with all four NICs enslaved into a 802.3ad LAG:
Host 1:
* bond0.101@bond0: 192.168.101.203
* bond0.102@bond0: 192.168.102.203
* bond0.103@bond0: 192.168.103.203
* bond0.104@bond0: 192.168.104.203
Host 2:
* bond0.101@bond0: 192.168.101.204
* bond0.102@bond0: 192.168.102.204
* bond0.103@bond0: 192.168.103.204
* bond0.104@bond0: 192.168.104.204
I believe my performance could be better though. While running bonnie++
on a VM, the NAS reports top disk throughput around 70MB/s and the
network (both NICs) topping out around 90MB/s. I suspect I'm being hurt
by the load balancing across the NICs. I've played with various load
balancing options for the LAGs (src-dst-ip and src-dst-mac) but with
little difference in effect. Watching the resource monitor on the NAS,
I can see that one NIC almost exclusive does transmits while the other
is almost exclusively receives. Here's the bonnie report (my apologies
to those reading plain-text here):

MPIO by concept is when you have two dedicated paths for iSCSI.
So you don’t put iSCSI inside LACP, because it won’t do the MPIO magic. Since it’s the
same path with a single IP.
The right approach is two subjects, completely segregated without routing. You can use the
same switch, it will not be redundant on the switch part, but it will be on the
connections and you have two paths to follow load balancing between them.
But to be honest I never get how oVirt handles MPIO. The iSCSI Multipath button on the
interface request that all points, on different paths, to be reached, which doesn’t make
sense for my understanding. In the past I’ve opened a ticket about this but I simply gave
up. Ended using XenServer instead for this case specifically, which I was trying to
avoid.

So just to make sure I follow:
* I will want a distinct VLAN and IP address for each NIC acting as an
iSCSI initiator.
* In the middle the switch would be configured as basic access ports
without any LACP.
* Do I want the same for the target? The QNAP docs say that for MPIO
I would want to use their port trunking feature and a single IP for
both NICs on that end, which confuses me as it seems to contradict
the idea of two (or more) completely independent channels.
As for how to get there, whatever exactly that might look like, I'm also
having troubles figuring that out. I figured I would transform the
setup described below into one where each host has:
* 2 NICs bonded with LACP for my ovirtmgmt and "main" net
* 1 NIC for my 1st storage net
* 1 NIC for my 2nd storage net
To get there though, I need to remove the 4 existing logical storage
nets from my hosts, pull 2 NICs out of the existing bond and so on. But
when I've attempted that, I get things into a funky state where the
hosts become non-operational because the old storage nets are
"required". I unchecked that setting thinking that to be the right
path. But I could never get much further towards the new setup because
the existing storage domain as all the old connections and I see no way
to "forget" them, at least through the engine -- I didn't try to fight
it behind its back with iscsiadmin to do session logouts. Somewhere in
all this mess I got into a Catch-22 where I couldn't do anything with
the old SD because no host was suitable and no host could be made
suitable because the SD couldn't be connected. I tried all sorts of
things of varying levels of scariness but wound up putting things back
to present for now since I clearly need some further advice.
One option that struck me as a possibility, but exceeded my risk
aversion threshold was to remove the storage domain entirely and create
a new one pointing to the same LUNs. Is that what I need to do to
forget the old connections? Is that safe to all my existing logical
disks, etc? Does the engine just see an group of LUNs with oVirt
"things" and magically reconstruct it all from what's there? I'm
guessing that's the case because I have recreated an engine before and
know that all the critical bits live in the SD, but I just want to be
sure I don't commit to something really boneheaded.

Hello people, in the past Maor Lipchuk (from RH) tried very hard to help me and Uwe but we
was unable to converge on the solution.
This was discussed a year ago and on my understanding it still and oVirt bug. As today, if
you simple “DuckDuckGo” for “ovirt iscsi multipath not working” the third link points to
this bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1474904
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1474904>
Which is the one I’ve mentioned and it’s extremely similar to John Florian case, which was
my case too.
@John, take a look at the bugzilla link and see if the desired topology match with your
case.

Okay, both the BZ and ML posts are interesting and helpful. I'm kind of
surprised there seems to be so much trouble and confusion for what I
would have thought to be a very common setup. Are most people using
something else?
I think this gives me what I need for my next stab at doing this but I"m
still puzzled on how to tear down what I have in oVirt so that I can
redo it. Specifically, I didn't see how to delete the existing iSCSI
connections. I've read that this can only be done through the REST
API. I have managed to redo the interfaces on my Hosts so that
everything is now on just 2 NICs each, leaving 2 NICs free for a
foothold on a new setup. From all of my experimentation, it would
appear that my only option is to create a new storage domain and
export/import each disk volume one by one. Maybe there's a migration
option I have yet to see, but I don't see any way around creating a new
storage domain here.

Okay, both the BZ and ML posts are interesting and helpful. I'm kind of surprised
there seems to be so much trouble and confusion for what I would have thought to be a very
common setup. Are most people using something else?
I think this gives me what I need for my next stab at doing this but I"m still
puzzled on how to tear down what I have in oVirt so that I can redo it. Specifically, I
didn't see how to delete the existing iSCSI connections. I've read that this can
only be done through the REST API. I have managed to redo the interfaces on my Hosts so
that everything is now on just 2 NICs each, leaving 2 NICs free for a foothold on a new
setup. From all of my experimentation, it would appear that my only option is to create a
new storage domain and export/import each disk volume one by one. Maybe there's a
migration option I have yet to see, but I don't see any way around creating a new
storage domain here.

Hi,

I will post a bonnie++ result later. If you need more details please
Attached are the results of the smallest setup (my home lab): storage
server is a HP N40L with 16GB RAM, 4x2TB WD RE as RAID10, CentOS 7 with
LIO as iSCSI target with 2 Gigabit networks (jumbo frames: mtu 9000).
cu,
Uwe
