Hello Toasters,
I'm getting killed by this problem. I've got a bunch of systems ready to deploy except that iSCSI isn't working (nor has it ever on these boxes). Here's what I see on the RHEL boxes (dmesg):
iscsi-sfnet: Loading iscsi_sfnet version 4:0.1.11-2 iscsi-sfnet: Control device major number 254 iscsi-sfnet:host4: Session established scsi4 : SFNet iSCSI driver scsi: unknown device type 31 Vendor: NETAPP Model: LUN Rev: 0.2 Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 04
The Filer shows the connection of the initiator, the igroups and mapping are correct, but when the type returns as "unknown" I don't get a LUN to actually use, so while I'm connected I can't actually do anything.
I'm not using security for iSCSI, I fixed problems relating to RHEL and multiple network cards on the filer, and my iscsi.conf should be fine:
Continuous=no HeaderDigest=never DataDigest=never ImmediateData=yes ConnFailTimeout=180
Username=benr Password=fakepass
DiscoveryAddress=10.10.2.240
Does anyone have any ideas? I thought the type issue might be related to OS Type when creatnig the LUNs and the Groups, but I've tried both as Linux and Default with the same result.
I'm currently using this filer for iSCSI on Solaris and it works wonderfully, so its just RHEL. I've upgraded to RHEL4 U3 and patched and everything, but thats not fixing anything.
I desprately could use some insite. I called the problem into NetApp last night and the tech gave up on the call.
Thanks.
benr.
