Hello Wrok, Almost 4 month ago we also struggel regarding the Ceph iscsi gateway perfromance and some bug. if you hitting little but amount of load you gateway will start creating issue. there one option you deploy dedicated iscsi gateway (tgt-server) that have direct connectivity from your cluster and mount you respective iscsi images to the that VM/Machine using the kernel based KRBD or rbd-NBD. and export image from that dedicated iscsi sever. other wise if you using the Veem backup server linux based then you directly mount your images in you backup sever using the same module KRBD or rbd-nbd . Community also stop the further development on the iscsi service in the ceph . we solve out performence problem using (tgt) based dedicated iscsi server. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
