#28 Multiple initiators?

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to have multiple initiators using the iscsi
initiator? That is, can I have multiple instances of the
iscsi initiator using different NIC cards? I don't want
multi-path as each initiator will have different luns
assigned to it. Is there a way to generate different iscsi
initiator names for each NIC?

not at the moment in the 2.6 kernel version. You can kinda
do what you want in the 2.4 kernel version. Read the README
and iscsi.conf about the HostIPsforMP feature and combine
that with the lun masking feature.

But in the 2.4 kernel version, I still cannot get a separate initiator
name for each NIC, right?

Right, the entire box/node is one initiator. You will get
different isids so why do you need different initiatornames?
Is it due to your target's setup program or something?
