Some question about the data path network
Hi,guys
1.I build a ScaleIO system with the following network topology.Then I think node5 should have two sdc_ip. And then I use
# scli --query_sdc --sdc_id 80ce626900000009
SDC ID: 80ce626900000009 Name: N/A IP: 192.168.10.10 State: Connected GUID: 13A597F3-C482-4D30-A5DB-330A8C20748F
Read bandwidth: 0 IOPS 0 Bytes per-second
Write bandwidth: 0 IOPS 0 Bytes per-second
Volume information (total 1 volumes):
1: Volume ID: 9cb9195500000000 Name: test_HD_Hihg Thick-provisioned Size: 2.0 TB (2000 GB)
But there only show one IP.Can the sdc have two IP?
2.What if have two IPs, which IP will be used to send the data? the one of them or both of them?

Littleboy,
The SDC will use all available paths to the SDS IPs it's configured to access. The list of those IPs can be printed by running /opt/emc/scaleio/sdc/bin/drv_cfg --query_tgts.
Connectivity to those SDS IPs is determined by the network configuration.
If you have only one NIC on node5 and it's on the 192.168.10.x subnet, then the OS can only send packets to the SDS IPs on the 192.168.10.x subnet. If you add another NIC and can now send packets to the 192.168.101.x subnet, then the SDC will be able to "talk" to the SDSes on that subnet as well.
Think of the multipathing here as you would a "Symmetrix-Optimized" pathing policy in PowerPath. The SDC will communicate on all available subnets as they are available.
Caveats:

Thanks very much. I still don't have a concept about the "tgt" ,What does "tgt" mean in ScaleIO?
