What do you mean that it can not log in or log out ? lsmod shows the following output when I grep for bnx
# lsmod | grep bnx bnx2i 99104 0 cnic 72984 1 bnx2i scsi_transport_iscsi 67153 5 bnx2i,ib_iser,iscsi_tcp,libiscsi bnx2 208520 0 scsi_mod 196569 9 bnx2i,ib_iser,iscsi_tcp,libiscsi,scsi_transport_iscsi,sg,scsi_dh,cciss,sd_mod That must mean that the iscsi module is loaded. But how do I ensure that I am using the iscsi offload transport which is offered by the NIC ? Again, I am trying to understand what is happening in the documentation provided by HP in http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01309558/c01309558.pdf According to this document the binding to the Accelerated iSCSI offload is done by updating the node.transport_name property of the node with the transport name for the NIC which is listed in the following command # dmesg | grep "bnx2i: netif" >From this command I can see that the transport name is bcm570x-410100. But if I list the node properties # iscsiadm --mode node --targetname <targetname> -P 3 I can not see that there is any property with the name node.transport_name. Only iface.transport_name. Where can I see the current value of the node.transport_name property ?
