Re: iscsistart VLAN ID ??
I'm just trying to understand how that all works so EVERYTHING that is set in the BIOS gets set with iscsistart -b regardless if I can see it or not meaning when I do iscsistart -f I don't see the vlan settings. # BEGIN RECORD 2.0-873 iface.initiatorname = iqn.0101-01.kvmi.host01 iface.transport_name = be2iscsi iface.hwaddress = ac:16:2d:b8:c7:d1 iface.bootproto = STATIC node.name = iqn.0101-01.kvmi.host01 node.conn[0].address = 192.168.100.101 node.conn[0].port = 3260 # END RECORD # BEGIN RECORD 2.0-873 iface.initiatorname = iqn.0101-01.kvmi.host01 iface.transport_name = be2iscsi iface.hwaddress = ac:16:2d:b8:c7:d5 iface.bootproto = STATIC node.name = iqn.0101-01.kvmi.host01 node.conn[0].address = 192.168.101.101 node.conn[0].port = 3260 # END RECORD It's working . but I didn't know why :) Thanks!! -- Rob On Wednesday, September 17, 2014 6:44:07 AM UTC, Mike Christie wrote: Nevermind. When you wrote you can set it in the BIOS, that means that userspace should not have to set it as far as I can tell from the code. It will just get set like other net settings if not passed in from userspace during session login time.. On 09/17/2014 01:39 AM, Mike Christie wrote: See the email subject. What about iscsistart? It only takes info found in /sys/firmware. iscsiadm can set any info in /etc/iscsi or /var/lib/iscsi, so yeah that should work.

If you are using be2iscsi, then you would not use ibft. If you are using a custom boot script then you need be2iscsi and iscsi_boot_sysfs only. If you are using a distro boot script then it might be more general and loading ibft (loading ibft loads iscsi_boot_sysfs) because other drivers need it. I think for be2iscsi boot, there is no code to get the vlan id and then pass that down to the driver. However, I think be2iscsi might store the vlan info in firmware like it does with the other net info. So as long as the vlan id did not change then you are ok. Jay, is that correct?

Re: iscsistart VLAN ID ??
Thanks but vconfig doesn't apply here this is an iscsi hba so it's not using the network stack at all ... besides that it's too early in the boot process still running on initramfs ...

iscsistart Ubuntu server 14.01.1 LTS / HP proliant DL380p GEN 8
OK ... so I've made a lot of progress since my last post about VLAN id discovered I should be using ISCSI_AUTO and ibft However ... I'm still getting grief from the init script local-top/iscsi, iscsistart -b is *failing* with the message: *Could not get boot entry.* I have hacked at the iscsi script and pared it down to the bare essentials: echo loading ibft module modprobe iscsi_ibft echo load ibft module echo sleep 5 sleep 5 echo wake up echo running iscsistart /sbin/iscsistart -b echo ended iscsistart echo running udevadm settle udevadm settle echo ended udevadm settle echo ended iscsi script no joy but here is the kicker when the initscript fails to find root and drops me to the initramfs shell I run iscsistart -b at the command line it all works fine! configures the hba and connects to the lun on both interfaces .. exit out of the shell ... root gets mounted and all is well. The box is using emulex lan/iscsi adapters: 03:00.2 Mass storage controller: Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb iSCSI Initiator (be3) (rev 01) 03:00.3 Mass storage controller: Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb iSCSI Initiator (be3) (rev 01) I'm stumped ... is it a timing thing???

Re: iscsistart Ubuntu server 14.01.1 LTS / HP proliant DL380p GEN 8
OK I might be onto something even though ibft_iscsi loads ... it seems the /sys/ entries the iscsistart needs aren't ready after modprobe returns . adding a sleep 60 allowed iscsistart to connect to the luns without dropping to a shell On Monday, September 15, 2014 3:06:40 PM UTC, Rob Roschewsk wrote: OK ... so I've made a lot of progress since my last post about VLAN id discovered I should be using ISCSI_AUTO and ibft However ...
