Hi,
I tried to get the integrated offline engine on a Broadcom NetXtreme II
BCM5709 working and I have some questions.
a) Does it work in general with a recent Kernel (2.6.34) and a recent
version and open-iscsi (2.0.871) without using RPMs provided by Broadcom? I
found an old email saying that it does not.
b) I don't know which interfaces to use: iscsiadm shows 2 bnx2i
interfaces with the natural nic interfaces' mac address +1, in my case:
Ifconfig: Eth2: 00:10:18:79:09:50
Iscsiadm: First bnx2i: bnx2i.00:10:18:79:09:51 bnx2i
Should I create a new one? Or use this interface?
c) What is the correct way to use bnx2i as transport? Specify mac
address (which one? ...:50 or .:51) of that interface, use the ip address of
the corresponding nic, or the the nic name itself?
d) I read somewhere about arp or interface lookup problems. Do I have
to do anything else (static arp entrys, routes, .) than bringing the network
card up and running?
I can't find a working document describing all the required steps. I tried
several ways, but I all I got were error with error number -19:
iscsid: cannot make a connection to 192.168.21.102:3260 (-19,2)
or:
Received iferror -19: No such device.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Sebastian Schwardt
