What version of rhel5 and what kernel (uname -a will tell you the kernel). I think you just need to update the kernel. Some modules would mark a iscsi ping/nopout/noop_out as failed too quickly.


# Time interval to wait for on connection before sending a ping.
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 5

# To specify the time to wait for a Nop-out response before failing
# the connection, edit this line. Failing the connection will
# cause IO to be failed back to the SCSI layer. If using dm-multipath
# this will cause the IO to be failed to the multipath layer.
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 5

You also might want to increase these values. In one case it looked like it did take a while to get logged back in, so it might have been a valid problem.

You can reset those values by setting them in iscsid.conf then rediscoverying your targets or run

iscsiadm -m node -o update -n node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval -v your_new_value iscsiadm -m node -o update -n node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout -v your_new_value
