Hmm... somehow that got removed. I've rebuilt the system (I'm setting up new
hardware fortunately) and am back to trying it out again. Just for
background, I'm testing out on a Dell R610 with 4 onboard nics (no iscsi
offload enabled) and 4 broadcom nics pci-e cards with iscsi offload enabled.

I think I'm missing a basic step here.. but it feels close.

   1. Installed CentOS 5.5 + updates, w/
   iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.871-0.18.el5 on x86_64 machine.
   2. eth0 is set to 10.1.3.20 IP address
   3. eth4 is set to 10.1.4.30 (MAC Address:00:10:18:6A:E4:78)
   4. Lefthand iscsi is setup on 10.1.4.10
   5. I set up /var/lib/iscsi/ifaces/bnx2i.00:10:18:6a:e4:79 with the
   following content

# BEGIN RECORD 2.0-871
iface.iscsi_ifacename = bnx2i.00:10:18:6a:e4:79
iface.hwaddress = 00:10:18:6a:e4:79
iface.ipaddress = 10.1.4.31
iface.transport_name = bnx2i
# END RECORD

6. iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -I bnx2i.00:10:18:6a:e4:79 -p 10.1.4.10
returns
10.1.4.10:3260,1 iqn.2003-10.com.lefthandnetworks:rally-qd:104:testbnxvol

Cool.. looks like I've found the LUN. I think this uses the eth4 device
here, not the bnx2i
Trying to login..

iscsiadm -m node -l -P 1
Logging in to [iface: bnx2i.00:10:18:6a:e4:79, target:

10.1.4.10,3260]
iscsiadm: Could not login to [iface: bnx2i.00:10:18:6a:e4:79, target:
iqn.2003-10.com.lefthandnetworks:rally-qd:104:testbnxvol, portal:
10.1.4.10,3260]:
iscsiadm: initiator reported error (4 - encountered connection failure)

in /var/log/messages..
Jul 12 16:21:01 qd-db-01 iscsid: Received iferror -1
Jul 12 16:21:01 qd-db-01 iscsid: cannot make a connection to
10.1.4.10:3260(-1,11)

And I can't ping 10.1.4.31, but I'm not sure if that is expected or not.

I assume that I should not be setting anything up in the Broadcom setup for
iSCSI. I guess I'm assuming that is for iSCSI boot which I don't want or
need for now. But maybe I'm wrong? It's happened on plenty of occasions.

Note: Using TCP for iscsi works. I.e. the following commands work great:
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st  -p 10.1.4.10
iscsiadm -m node -l

Any ideas?
