2.7 Configuring Multipath I/O for iSCSI Targets
Multipath I/O is a technique called to increase fault tolerance and performance by establishing multiple
paths to the same iSCSI target. The figure below shows a typical multipath-enabled setup for exporting
Acronis Storage disk space over iSCSI.
In this example, each iSCSI target is assigned static IP addresses from two datacenter subnets. In case one of
the network connections fails, the iSCSI targets will still be accessible via the other one.
To enable multipath I/O for an iSCSI target, assign to it multiple IP addresses from different networks using
the -a option. For example:
# vstorage-iscsi create -n ps1 -a 192.168.10.101 -a 192.168.20.101
