What I'm calling "Leading Login" support here is designed to minimize iSCSI login storms at boot. Rather than setting things up to start one session per iface at boot, it would be convenient for our needs to allow users to set their system up so that exactly one session is established at boot by trying each iface record in turn until one succeeds, then initiating no more. Our external multipath daemon will add more sessions on alternate ifaces as needed after the fact.
I have added a new node database value "node.leading_login" which defaults to "No". Any nodes with this value set to "Yes" act differently during login_by_mode (ie, 'iscsiadm -m node -L automatic'). Rather than attempting to login all matching nodes, the code now tries each iface record in turn until one succeeds, and then will not attempt any more logins for that target. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
