Hi Mike,

Trying to connect to the EQL box there are no messagese at all.

On these oracle related boxes we use the oracle linux kernel. We do
not use oracle linux vm.
Are there any issues with this kernel and iscsi?

I have downloaded the update and will install and test with this
release, I will come back to you with the results.

All storage IPs are on the same subnet 10.10.77.00. The EQL box
listens to 10.10.77.10.

Kind regards
Michael
