Initiative Overview 

The RHEL team has informed us that iscsid and mpathd should not be running in containers and we need to make this change to be in a RHEL supported model for RHOSO-18. 

Goals 

Migrate where the iscid daemon executes on EDPM nodes, from running in a container to running directly on the EDPM host.

• This follows the guidance received from the RHEL storage team after they became aware we had containerized these daemons
• Running the daemon on the host facilitates the host booting from an iSCSI disk

Done - Acceptance Criteria

• Testing for new deployments ensuring that iSCSI works as expected
• Testing for upgrading existing deployments to ensure that iSCSI continues to work as expected without any impact or awareness to the customer

Out of Scope 

• Multipathd will be handled in a separate initiative after this one is far enough along that we can leverage the approach

No DOCs or CI Automation impact - not customer visible, existing CI coverage in place
