Hi folks, what is the recommendation for setting node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout in /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf? The default is 120 secs, but my Dell servers usually take at least 5 minutes for rebooting, so this setting doesn't seem reasonable.

Can you check

/var/log/messages

to see how long the iSCSI initiator waits to find an iSCSI target? And I also think that if you extend the value of

node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout

, you should consider reducing the value of

node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval

and

node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout

to prevent if any network Problem Blocking I/O for too long.

Do you have any guidelines about the recommended iscsi config settings for Longhorn on the target? I get I/O errors, if I have to reboot a node, eg.
