Re: Cinder with iscsi in a different IP that the cinder-api IP
[In reply to]

After reading a bit about cinder driver configuration i found out that some
conf variables are per driver. So i just added
"iscsi_ip_address=172.19.137.245" in my backends defintinions:
[lvmdriver-1]
volume_group=cinder-volumes-1
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMISCSIDriver
volume_backend_name=LVM_iSCSI_a
iscsi_ip_address=172.19.137.245
[lvmdriver-2]
volume_group=cinder-volumes-2
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMISCSIDriver
volume_backend_name=LVM_iSCSI_b
iscsi_ip_address=172.19.137.245
Works great!
