Hi list,
There was a comment from Nic on this list a while ago that when using
multiple target portals, VLANning them off is necessary to prevent
weirdness. I have a target portal group set up with 6 portal IPs (on 6
physical NICs), all on the same VLAN, and things seem to have been
working OK with a VMware ESXi 5.1 initiator that has 4 iSCSI interfaces
(although I haven't really inspected too carefully).
Nevertheless Nic's comment got me thinking about my current setup, so I
thought I'd ask: is there any preference from a target perspective on
whether you use multiple target IPs as I have, or just one single portal
with an LACP port channel behind it?
Obviously I guess a lot of it will depend on the multipathing behaviour
of the initiator, but wanted to ask if there were any gotchas from a
target point of view.
Cheers!
