Hi,
What I want to achieve is:
- Two NVMe targets pointing to the same NVMe
- Targets mounted twice on initiator via different paths (different ports in RDMA NIC)
- Setup nvmeof multipath on initiator side
- Run fio tests, bring down one interface and check if it will go through another
- Run fio tests, via both interfaces at the same time
So far I have:
- Two machines with kernel 4.15.0-rc8 compiled with CONFIG_NVME_MULTIPATH=y
- Two targets started on server each pointing to the same NVMe (each using different network port and different ip)
- Targets mounted on initiator side
Nvme list-subsys is displaying
nvme-subsys0 - NQN=nvme-subsystem-TEST
\
+- nvme0 rdma traddr=100.0.0.90 trsvcid=1055
nvme-subsys1 - NQN=nvme-subsystem-TEST2
\
+- nvme1 rdma traddr=100.0.50.90 trsvcid=1055
I am using latest nvme-cli:
v0.2-612-g8466996
Tried to look through documentation in nvme-cli, and I found only:
" -m, --nmic
Namespace multipath and sharing capabilities.
EXAMPLES
No examples provided yet."
In ./nvme-create-ns.1
Could you point me to documentation where I could find setup steps for nvme multipath (different options, fail over, round robin), or if there isn't any could you provide me with some steps to follow.
Best Regards,
Paweł Cybulski
