Hi,
I'm trying to get offload iscsi (rhel 5.5) to work on a PowerEdge M610
and bnx2i.
The thing is that I get it to work through the normal tcp/ip stack but
not by specifying an iface which suppose to do offload iscsi.
The discovery step works, but as I understood, this goes through the
normal ip routing. The login step however just hangs.
Here are some configuration details:
# lspci:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709S
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709S
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
# ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:B9:FD:41:42

# iscsiadm -m iface

bnx2i.00:26:b9:fd:41:41 bnx2i,00:26:b9:fd:41:41,172.16.17.21,<empty>,<empty>
bnx2i.00:26:b9:fd:41:43 bnx2i,00:26:b9:fd:41:43,172.16.17.20,<empty>,<empty>
bnx2i.00:00:00:00:00:00 bnx2i,00:00:00:00:00:00,<empty>,<empty>,<empty>
# iscsiadm -m iface -I bnx2i.00:26:b9:fd:41:43
# BEGIN RECORD 2.0-871
iface.iscsi_ifacename = bnx2i.00:26:b9:fd:41:43
iface.net_ifacename = <empty>
iface.ipaddress = 172.16.17.20
iface.hwaddress = 00:26:b9:fd:41:43
iface.transport_name = bnx2i
iface.initiatorname = <empty>
# END RECORD
Then running:
# iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 172.16.17.243 -I bnx2i.00:26:b9:fd:41:43
172.16.17.243:3260,1 iqn.2002-10.com.infortrend:raid.sn7740362.101
#
and
# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2002-10.com.infortrend:raid.sn7740362.101 --login
Logging in to [iface: bnx2i.00:26:b9:fd:41:43, target:
iqn.2002-10.com.infortrend:raid.sn7740362.101, portal: 172.16.17.243,3260]
just hangs.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Ton
