Re: iSCSI to a Ceph node with 2 network adapters - how to ?

Hello

Bonding and iscsi are not a best practice architecture. Multipath is,
however I can attest to problems with the multipathd and debian.

In any case, what you should try to do and check is:

1) Use two vlans, one for each ethernet port, with different ip
address space. Your initiators on the hosts will then be able to
discover two iscsi targets.
2) You should ensure that ping between host interfaces and iscsi
targets is working. You should ensure that the iscsi target daemon is
up (through the use of netstat for example) for each one of the two
ip addresses/ethernet interfaces
3) Check multipath configuration

Indeed, you have to add routes and rules to routing table. Just bond
them.

Errr....   is this very wise ?

I have both its Ethernets connected to the same LAN,
       with different IPs in the same subnet
       (like, 192.168.200.230/24 and 192.168.200.231/24)


In my experience setting up to interfaces on the same subnet means that
your ssystem doesnt know which one to route traffic through...

	        Dear all,
	
	        I am experimenting with Ceph setup. I set up a single node
	        (Asus P10S-M WS, Xeon E3-1235 v5, 64 GB RAM, 8x3TB SATA
HDDs,
	        Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic, Ceph packages from
	        http://download.ceph.com/debian-luminous/dists/xenial/
<http://download.ceph.com/debian-luminous/dists/xenial/>
	        and iscsi parts built manually per
	http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rbd/iscsi-target-cli-manual-instal
l/
<http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rbd/iscsi-target-cli-manual-install/> )
	        Also i changed 'chooseleaf ... host' into 'chooseleaf ... osd'
	        in the CRUSH map to run with single host.
	
	        I have both its Ethernets connected to the same LAN,
	        with different IPs in the same subnet
	        (like, 192.168.200.230/24 and 192.168.200.231/24)
	        mon_host in ceph.conf is set to 192.168.200.230,
	        and ceph daemons (mgr, mon, osd) are listening to this IP.
	
	        What I would like to finally achieve, is to provide
multipath
	        iSCSI access through both these Ethernets to Ceph RBDs,
	        and apparently, gwcli does not allow me to add a second
	        gateway to the same target. It is going like this :
	
	/iscsi-target> create iqn.2018-06.host.test:test
	ok
	/iscsi-target> cd iqn.2018-06.host.test:test/gateways
	/iscsi-target...test/gateways> create p10s 192.168.200.230
skipchecks=true
	OS version/package checks have been bypassed
	Adding gateway, sync'ing 0 disk(s) and 0 client(s)
	ok
	/iscsi-target...test/gateways> create p10s2 192.168.200.231
skipchecks=true
	OS version/package checks have been bypassed
	Adding gateway, sync'ing 0 disk(s) and 0 client(s)
	Failed : Gateway creation failed, gateway(s)
unavailable:192.168.200.231(UNKNOWN state)
	
	        host names are defined in /etc/hosts as follows :
	
	192.168.200.230 p10s
	192.168.200.231 p10s2
	
	        so I suppose that something does not listen on
192.168.200.231, but I don't have an idea what is that thing and how to
make it listen there. Or how to achieve this goal (utilization of both
Ethernets for iSCSI) in different way. Shoud I aggregate Ethernets into
a 'bond' interface with single IP ? Should I build and use 'lrbd' tool
instead of 'gwcli' ? Is it acceptable that I run kernel 4.15, not 4.16+
?
	What other directions could you give me on this task ?
	Thanks in advance for your replies.
