iSCSI target rebooting causes initiators to reboot as well

  • 772

I'm running a couple of iSCSI Targets with OCFS2. I had to reboot my iSCSI Target (the physical iSCSI Target) due to some hardware changes and it caused all the initiators to reboot. I want to prevent that or at least make them wait a lot longer before they reboot.

Is there some sysctl variables I can use to modify the targets?

I have multiple iSCSI Targets on my main system, due to need to share them out with multiple systems I'm running OCFS2 as the Filesystems on the Initiators

linux iscsi storage

  1. Are the initiators at question using the iSCSI storage as a system/boot device? If so, the only option that comes to mind would be to suspend or hibernate the initiators prior to rebooting the target.
