Hi! I was able to solve my mutual authenticatipon problem (Thanks to Mike!). The reason was that initiator and target swap roles, so that
OutgoingUser iqn.1996-04.de.suse:01:39f021fed644 pass2pass2pass2 must match node.session.auth.username_in = iqn.1996-04.de.suse:01:39f021fed644 node.session.auth.password_in = pass2pass2pass2 (This {,_in} and {Incoming,Outgoing} has always confused me: wouldn't it be better to rename those as "Initiator" and "Target" on both sides? (i.e. ...auth.initiator.password corresponding to IET's TargetUser, etc.)) But now the real issue: When trying to log in when being already logged in, iscsiadm complains "Could not log into all portals", which is right, but also wrong. It could not log in, because it was already logged in. Wouldn't it make sense to count only actually failed login? In my case on the first attempt only 1 of 3 sessions could log in. Then on the second attemtpt, the remaining 2 of 3 could log in. Eventually on the third attempt 0 of 3 neede a login. But in all cases the message from iscsiadm was the same "Could not log into all portals". I think this confuses the user more than necessary. # iscsiadm -m node -L all iscsiadm: default: 1 session requested, but 1 already present. iscsiadm: default: 1 session requested, but 1 already present. iscsiadm: default: 1 session requested, but 1 already present. iscsiadm: Could not log into all portals Regards, Ulrich -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
