[Users] ovirt / 2 iscsi storage domains / same LUN IDs

[Alex Leonhardt]

For those still interested, t
he timeout issue doesnt occur on the
m
ultipath side, nor ovirt
,
 but on the iscsid config side of things -

To shorten the timeout and fail a path faster, edit

/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf


C
hange the value


node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 1
2
0

t
o something more useful, like I changed it to "10"


Reloading iscsid's config does nothing
,
 you'll have to restart the host for it to work.
