Hi guys,
So next week I am finally converting my old VMWare infrastructure to Proxmox and I have a question about iSCSI MPIO with our HP P2000 G3.
The P2000 has 2 controllers, each with 2 10Gbit NIC's. Each server has two 10Gbit NIC's, connected to separate 10Gig switches. Each controller in the P2000 has one connection to switch 1, and one to switch 2, they are separate subnets. Each server has one connection to each switch.
So, each server can see both interfaces on both controllers of the SAN, [A1,B1] + [A2,B2].
To summarise:
So the question is, how do I configure this in proxmox? Looking at the MPIO article, I should add some iSCSI in the GUI first, then configure the multipath tools, then i should add an LVM group ontop of my new MPIO device.
Now do I have to enter the IP addresses of the other SAN interfaces somewhere? Or are them paths auto detected? Since so far I have only made Proxmox aware of 1 SAN interface?
Secondly, will I have to copy this MPIO config to all of the other proxmox cluster nodes manually?
Thanks

To summarise:
- 2 separate storage networks
- 2 interfaces per SAN controller
- Each server has a connection to storage network 1 & storage network 2
- SAN controller's have one interface to each network
