Abstract
A method is provided for a hyper-converged storage-compute system to implement an active-active failover architecture for providing Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) target service. The method intelligently selects multiple hosts to become storage nodes that process iSCSI input/output (I/O) for a target. The method further enables iSCSI persistent reservation (PR) to handle iSCSI I/Os from multiple initiators.
