SES Planing: keeping ISCSI gates on OSD nodes - is wise?

Still seems the idea is good. Here is the example of lrbd configuration file, which allows to serve single iSCSI target with 4-way multipathing to 4 OSD nodes.

{ "auth": [ { "target": "iqn.2016-07.org.ses-iscsi.igw.x86:mpath", "authentication": "none" } ], "targets": [ { "target": "iqn.2016-07.org.ses-iscsi.igw.x86:mpath", "hosts": [ { "host": "osd01", "portal": "portal01" }, { "host": "osd02", "portal": "portal02" }, { "host": "osd03", "portal": "portal03" }, { "host": "osd04", "portal": "portal04" } ] } ], "portals": [ { "name": "portal01", "addresses": [ "172.18.65.144" ] }, { "name": "portal02", "addresses": [ "172.18.65.153" ] }, { "name": "portal03", "addresses": [ "172.18.65.154" ] }, { "name": "portal04", "addresses": [ "172.18.65.155" ] } ], "pools": [ { "pool": "iscsi01", "gateways": [ { "target": "iqn.2016-07.org.ses-iscsi.igw.x86:mpath", "tpg": [ { "image": "iscsivol01" } ] } ] } ] }
