iSCSI and Network Bonding
Good Evening Everyone, Just wanted to reach out to the guru's here as I am stumpped at the moment. I have a ReadyNas 314 connected to a TP-LInk TL-SG108E switch. This switch supports the provision o...
Good News Everyone,
I have figured it out !! (I am pretty excited!). The issue seemed to be with the iSCSI setup on the ReadyNas. I went into the iSCSI settings and within the properties of the group the 'Dedicated Link' was set to 'Any'. Changing this to "bond0:x.x.x.x" completely solved the problem.
In answer to your question acwdc, my SMB settings were as follows; Enable SMB (checked), Legacy Windows Discovery (checked), SMB3 Transport Encryption (Configured Globally - Enabled).
Hope this helps someone else out there. I really appreciate everyones help with this - a big thank you !!
Kind of wondered what would be the difference between ANY and the dedicated bond ID. Anyhow, it world now :)
Cheers,John
It'd be useful to know what you want to accomplish with bonding. You won't get any performance boost if you only have one client PC running, not matter what teaming mode you use.
Are you connecting to the NAS using it's hostname? If so, perhaps try a test using the IP address instead.
Good Morning StephenB,
Thank you so much for responding to my query. I do appriciaite your time. The reasons for wanting to implement bondingn on the ReadyNas is to provide some sort of fault tollerance in addition to load sharing.
I have several other computers on the same network all connecting the ReadyNas using their own iSCSI and the network neighbourhood and was attempting to just add a little extra load balancing.
I am connecting to the ReadyNas via the iSCSI initiator via IP address.
Cheers and thanks for the advice
You could try round-robin and see if that behaves any differently.
Are you seeing the issue only with iSCSI, or are you also unable to access Network Shares?
