Clustered SCSI target using RBD Status¶

Summary¶

The goal of this project is to modify the Linux target layer, LIO, to be able to support active/active access to a device across multiple nodes running LIO. The changes to LIO are being done in a generic way to allow other cluster aware devices to be used, but our focus is on using RBD.

More info can be found in the Hammer blue print here.

This will be a update on what has been completed and open issues.

Current Status¶

Detailed Description¶

Open issues from the Hammer blue print include:

1. - SCSI task management (TMF) / Unit Attention (UA) / PREEMPT AND ABORT Handling.

This has not yet been worked on since the Hammer discussion.

2. Configuration and Device State.

- The current plan is to use pacemaker/corosync for the setup and syncing device state across nodes.

- For management, I am looking into implementing a libStorageMgmt (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libstoragemgmt/) plugin, so tools like lsmcli can manage the target.

Both of these need more research and discussion.
