iscsi w/multiple nics

[DeWebDude]

Hello All,

Is it possible to connect multiple NICS for iscsi on the same subnet?
It's not allowing us to do so in quick tests, but I'm wondering if there is something special we need to do.

I did of course test with multiple nics in different subnets.

Thanks!

No, it's not possible to have multiple NIC's configured in the same subnet.

Thank you!
Just wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything in the documentation.

No, it's not possible to have multiple NIC's configured in the same subnet.

Doooh! I thought @DeWebDude's question implied LAG/LACP, so I directed him to @jgreco's guide.

LOL, I figured you read it too quick! I went to the links and was LAG, that's not what I asked.
Hey, we can all do the blonde thing once in a while :)
Thanks!

No. Despite what some people think, that's an invalid configuration.

Yeah, asked often enough that we have a special sticky for it.
