<font size=2 face="Lucida Console">Hello,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Lucida Console">I was curious if you can define
multiple iscsi targets / iqn's in a kickstart?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Lucida Console">I have two iSCSI target portals
with clustered access to a hosts root disk for HA and would like to have
the installer see both iqn's and setup/install on the multipath abstraction.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Lucida Console">Can I just go:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Lucida Console">iscsiname iqn.1970-01.com.example.portal-a:netclient.rootdisk</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Lucida Console">iscsi --ipaddr=10.10.10.10 --port=3260</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Lucida Console">iscsiname iqn.1970-01.com.example.portal-b:netclient.rootdisk</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Lucida Console">iscsi --ipaddr=10.10.20.20 --port=3260</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Lucida Console">Then boot the machine with the mpath
option to detect the multi iscsi path for installation ?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Lucida Console">I did some experimentation and determined
that you can pass dracut multiple netroot's so the disks are visible when
the kernel loads up.</font>
