I don't use either MPIO or MCS on Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 10 initiator (not Win2016 but hope there is no much difference). I try to make it work with a single session first. Also, right now I only have a single iSCSI gateway/portal (single host, single IP, single port). Or is MPIO mandatory to use with Ceph target ?
It's mandatory even if you only have a single path since MPIO is responsible for activating the paths.
Who would know ? I installed MPIO, enabled it for iSCSI (required Windows reboot), set MPIO policy to 'Failover only', and now my iSCSI target is readable&writable ! Thanks a lot for your help ! Probably this should be written with bigger and redder letters in Ceph docs. Next question, would it be possible for iPXE loader to boot from such iSCSI volumes ? I am going to experiment with that but if the answer is known in advance, it would be good to know. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
