hostgroup issue about ceph-iscsi-cli HOT 5 CLOSED

No it's not a bug. The idea is that once a host is a member of a group, that's where lun allocation policy is done. When you remove a host from a host group, the luns allocated still remain since we don't know whether there are services still running on the host that require the luns - so leaving them there is the safe thing to do.

Maybe you could raise an RFE for a purge option, so the host is removed from the group and it's luns get removed as a non-default behavior?

You can't add a host with luns to a host group, since it's luns and lun-ids may conflict with the lun policy and lun-id's within the host group. To add a host it needs to be unused ie. no luns allocated. With a host group the luns and lun-ids are the same for all members of the group - that's why the host needs to be 'empty'.

@vatelzh， I'm sorry to disturb you， I want to ask you that your group added host has come into effect？When I add host and disk for group, I quit gwcli, and then from new entry, I find that the configuration of host and disk on group has disappeared.

@letterwuyu yes.

could you show the output of gwcli and targetcli and using rados -p rbd get gateway.conf gateway.conf to checkout if the relationship is in this file.
