Multiple Connections per Session (MC/S) means using multiple communication paths in a single session ("I_T Nexus"). Architectural session command ordering is preserved across those communication paths.
Overview
Multiple iSCSI connections per iSCSI session (MC/S) means creating multiple communication paths across TCP/SCTP or iSER & RCaP connections. Session-wide command (CmdSN defined) ordering is preserved per RFC-3720 to ensure in-order delivery of tasks from an SCSI Initiator Port to an SCSI Target Port as defined by the SCSI Architecture Model, in which iSCSI provides the SCSI transport.
Linux Compatibility
- Core-iscsi Interopt: supported, stable
- Open-iscsi: not supported
Standards compliance
The requirements as defined by RFC-3720 for non-ERL dependent MC/S support are not limited to the following:
- Add additional connections on the fly with active+inactive IO (non-leading login)
- Remove connections on the fly with active+inactive IO (explict logout)
- Remove connections on the fly on a different connection with active+inactive IO (different CID explict logout)
- Restart session+connections during single connection failure (session reinstatement)
- Multiple connection sessions to the same and different network portals (iSCSI trunking)
