RE: Problems accessing virtual disks on MD3000i, was: RE: Design Questions

2008-06-02 Thread Bryan Mclellan

You mean the preferred controller module on the MD3000i SAN, I assume.

I'd make sure you can ping all of the nodes (four if you have two controllers).
Discover them all via sendtargets and log in to all of them.

 iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.130.101
 iscsiadm -m node -l
 fdisk -l

You should end up with two or four devices (depending on number of 
controllers); one for each virtual disk mapped to that host for each node 
you've logged in to, provided you've removed the Access mapping, which should 
be just fine. Fdisk -l should print a partition table, or lack thereof, for all 
the disks it can read (which should be half of number of nodes)

It took me a while to figure out that I couldn't access the disks via the 
second controller and playing around with iscsiadm a lot is what finally clued 
me in to it. It helped that I already had a test partition on the virtual disk 
created elsewhere so cat '/proc/partitions' revealed that the partition was 
only visible on two of the disk devices not all four.

As a side note, I'd double check your subnet configurations on the controllers. 
Each controller should only have one interface on a specific subnet. I don't 
think this is related to your current problem though.

Hi Bryan,

I changed my setup to only initiate sessions to the primary domain
controller
. This is my dmesg output now:

snip

Apparently, no changes, except that there are no partitions sde through sdg.
hwinfo and fdisk still report the same.

Btw, I also removed the Access DellUtility partition. No difference
either, except that /dev/sdd disappeared :)

Any other ideas?

OK, don't ask me why, but I just added a 20gb virtual disk on LUN-3, and 
BANG, the host SAW it with no problems whatsoever.

Maybe 100gb and/or lun-1 makes any difference? i hope not!

Buanzo,
a very puzzled man.

multipath-tools? Did you install it?
