Hello,

What version of FW is on the EQL array? Any error messages on the EQL array events?

I work for Dell/Equallogic and I have no issues connecting up ubuntu 12.10 to EQL. The only recent issue I've seen with 12.x is 12.04 the startup scripts don't login to iSCSI after a reboot or on start up.

# iscsiadm -m session -P 1

I'm curious why you don't want MPIO?

You'll need to modify /etc/sysctl.conf for MPIO

# ARP connection mods

net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore=1
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce=2
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=2


For ACLs I typically use the initiator name from the ubuntu server. I.e. iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:8ab9cf5340f0

Have you opened a case with Dell? While not a 'supported' OS, we will do best effort to assist you.

 Can you dump the following?

$sudo iscsiadm -m node

$sudo iscsiadm -m session

$sudo iscsiadm -m iface

$sudo iscsiadm -m discovery

Do you have a NIC that is on the same subnet as the array or are you routing to the SAN?

NICs on the same subnet is the preferred way.

Regards,

Don


Hey Don, I did finally get it connected. The reason I don't need mpio is because I'm just connecting to this volume to run backups with Duplicity. Performance and redundancy isn't really a big deal and I only have one link connected to that linux box at this time anyway. How do I get around the startup script issues connecting on boot?

Thanks!
