Two dedicated 10GE interfaces with jumbo-frames for the backend

/etc/netplan/iscsi.yaml

network:

Check if all components are configured right for jumbo-frames

If it does not has success, one of the switches on the way or the iSCSI-storage misses jumbo-frame settings.

Configure iSCSI

Setup initiator iqn

Setup a new iqn: 

# /sbin/iscsi-iname

The result is in /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi

/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi

## DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS FILE!
## If you remove this file, the iSCSI daemon will not start.
## If you change the InitiatorName, existing access control lists
## may reject this initiator.  The InitiatorName must be unique
## for each iSCSI initiator.  Do NOT duplicate iSCSI InitiatorNames.
InitiatorName=iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:4efdaa48c123

Setup iSCSI-Interfaces

# iscsiadm -m iface -I iscsi0 -o new
# iscsiadm -m iface -I iscsi0 --op=update -n iface.net_ifacename -v iscsi0
# iscsiadm -m iface -I iscsi0
# BEGIN RECORD 2.0-874
iface.iscsi_ifacename = iscsi0
iface.net_ifacename = iscsi0
iface.ipaddress = <empty>
iface.hwaddress = <empty>
iface.transport_name = tcp
...
# END RECORD

# iscsiadm -m iface -I iscsi1 -o new
# iscsiadm -m iface -I iscsi1 --op=update -n iface.net_ifacename -v iscsi1
# iscsiadm -m iface -I iscsi1
# BEGIN RECORD 2.0-874
iface.iscsi_ifacename = iscsi1
iface.net_ifacename = iscsi1
iface.ipaddress = <empty>
iface.hwaddress = <empty>
iface.transport_name = tcp
...
# END RECORD

Enable automatic startup of connection

# iscsiadm -m node --op=update -n node.conn[0].startup -v automatic
# iscsiadm -m node --op=update -n node.startup -v automatic

Check timeout parameter

Startup multipathing

From the multipath(1) man page: 

-r Force a reload of all existing multipath maps. This command is delegated to the
multipathd daemon if it's running. In this case, other command line switches of the multipath
command have no effect.
-ll Show ("list") the current multipath topology from all available information (sysfs, the
device mapper, path checkers ...).

# multipath -r

# multipath -ll
