Hello, I am fairly new to iSCSI implementations on Linux (and Windows). I had an existing implementation that was running on Slackware 12.1 but "self distruction" and was never documented. I have attempted to rebuild the connection as data exists that I need to recover but can't even get iscsiadm to run on the Slackware 12.1 system. I have build a new Centos 5.3 (el5), fully updated, and have installed the latest stable build of open-iscsi. I had to do the make KSRC command to get a succesful build, a straight make install did not work but running make install after the make KSRC did complete succesfully. However when I try to start open-isci, I get the following error (kernerl is 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5 #1 SMP): /etc/init.d/open-iscsi start Starting iSCSI initiator service: FATAL: Error inserting iscsi_tcp (/ lib/modules/2.6.18-128.2.1.el5/kernel/drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error inserting ib_iser (/lib/modules/2.6.18-128.2.1.el5/kernel/ drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/ib_iser.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
Are these really FATAL errors or do I need to deal with this? I did some Googling and did not arrive at a definitive answer. Should I consider a different distribution? Given the above resolution, what are my next steps, the README is not clear on this. Do I need to configure the iscsid.conf file first. What about the iface0 file? Does it need a hardware address and is that the same as eth0 or something else? When to use iscsiadm, it appears to be able to some of the heavy listing. Would appreaciate any direction I can get on this. Some additional information that may or may not be helpful. initiatorname.iscsi: InitiatorName=iqn.2005-03.org.open-iscsi:292f1499dcaa ifcfg-eth0: # Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=10.3.255.255 HWADDR=00:0C:29:93:9E:27 IPADDR=10.2.16.3 IPV6ADDR= IPV6PREFIX= NETMASK=255.252.0.0 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 ONBOOT=yes (iscsi tcp device) ifcfg-eth0:0 # Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] DEVICE=eth0:0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.100.3 IPV6ADDR= IPV6PREFIX= NETMASK=255.252.0.0 ONBOOT=yes target info: ign.1986-03.com.hp:storage.msa1012i.0824d5872b.a HP MAS1012i SCSI Disk Drive 192.168.100.4:3260 I can ping the target from the Linux system. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
