Hello Thomas,

We have seen cases where connecting to a LEFTHAND target resulted in the
local host requesting to perform LUN resets and the bnx2i in RHELS 5.5
does not have support for such.

When the driver does not support lun reset, the scsi layer will escalate to target resets or host resets. For bnx2i in RHEL 5.5, this ends up escalating to a host reset which results in bnx2i dropping the all the sessions on the host and relogging into them. So you should be ok without the lun reset support.

But you can try it with lun support and some other fixes with this test kernel (do not use in production):

session age (3)

Is there more to the log? When we see this we normally see something like a connection error before it.

itt 0 is reserved for by login task, so if we were not logging in then somehow the driver is returning the wrong itt. If we are logging in then the driver is somehow returning a bad itt or a old task.

Put under some load, this eventually led to I/O errors and file system
corruption.

The system is a fully updated RHEL5.5 plus the latest initiator from
Mike Christie,
iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-6.el5

I'll be happy to supply more details, but I'm rather new to iscsi and
not really sure what
information is relevant.
