Do you support multi-pathing, for example, connecting using both ipv4 and ipv6?

- qdotme 5mo agoThat's a tricky one. Sort of - we just didn't have enough reason to implement it (nor IPv6 but this is a low lift, and we can get it done quickly). We do suport VPD 0x83 and advertise consistent NAA/WWID, so linux will support multiple iscsiadm sessions to the same device, and it will be stitched across sessions as paths to the same disk. We currently hardcode MC/S to 1 as part of login negotiations, advertise single portal and dropping a path will require a re-login. So - theoretically yes, you can support multipath and it won't fall on its face, but without any practical benefits of it (no bandwidth aggregation and no failover - no ALUA) - at this point it's a single boring target. But the underlying plumbing can support it - if you have a real usecase for it.
