Chapter 2. Accessing Acronis Storage Clusters via iSCSI
In this example are three Acronis Hardware Nodes working in a Acronis Storage cluster. Two Nodes host one
iSCSI target each while the third hosts two iSCSI targets. Each Hardware Node is assigned a static or dynamic
IP address from the FrontNet 1 and the same from the FrontNet 2. In turn, each iSCSI target is assigned a static
IP address from the FrontNet 1 and a static IP address from the FrontNet 2. In case one of the frontnets fails,
the iSCSI targets will still be accessible via the other one.
To enable multipath I/O for a Acronis Storage iSCSI target, assign to it multiple IP addresses from different
networks using the -a option. For example, for a Node connected to two networks, 192.168.10.0/24 and
192.168.20.0/24, run the following command:
# vstorage-iscsi create -n ps1 -a 192.168.10.101 -a 192.168.20.101
