ISCSI timeout configuration

24.16.3. iSCSI Root
When accessing the root partition directly through an iSCSI disk, the iSCSI timers should be set so that iSCSI layer has several chances to try to reestablish a path/session. In addition, commands should not be quickly re-queued to the SCSI layer. This is the opposite of what should be done when dm-multipath is implemented.
To start with, NOP-Outs should be disabled. You can do this by setting both NOP-Out interval and timeout to zero. To set this, open /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf and edit as follows:
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 0
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 0
In line with this, replacement_timeout should be set to a high number. This will instruct the system to wait a long time for a path/session to reestablish itself. To adjust replacement_timeout, open /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf and edit the following line:
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = replacement_timeout
After configuring /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf, you must perform a re-discovery of the affected storage. This will allow the system to load and use any new values in /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf. For more information on how to discover iSCSI devices, refer to Section 24.12, “ Scanning iSCSI Interconnects”.

Configuring Timeouts for a Specific Session
You can also configure timeouts for a specific session and make them non-persistent (instead of using/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf). To do so, run the following command (replace the variables accordingly):
# iscsiadm -m node -T target_name -p target_IP:port -o update -n node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout -v $timeout_value

24.16.3. iSCSI Root
当直接通过一个ISCSI磁盘访问根分区的时候,iSCSI计时器应该被设置,以便iSCSI层有足够的时间重建会话/路径。此外,命令不应过快在SCSI层重排。这个是对立的，当实施多路径的时候应该被完成。
首先,NOP-Outs应该被禁用。你可以通过NOP-Out间隔和超时设置为零。设置这个打开/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf编辑修改参数如下:
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 0
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 0
以上修改之后,replacement_timeout应该设置为高的数字。这将指示系统等很长时间让会话/路径重建自己的连接。调整replacement_timeout,打开/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf编辑以下行:
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 替换的时间（默认是120，我改为2000）
在配置/etc/iscsi/iscsid.config之后,你必须执重新读取配置命令，去实时生效。让系统使用新配置的数值。

为一个单独的会话设置超时：
你还可以为特定的会话设置超时,让他们非持久性(而不是使用/ etc / iscsi / iscsid.conf的配置)。为此,运行以下命令(替换相应的变量):
# iscsiadm -m node -T target_name -p target_IP:port -o update -n node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout -v $timeout_value

service tgtd restart
service iscsi restart
service netfs restart
service iscsid restart
