Are both network interfaces for the offload cards ifup'd, have a ip
address on the same subnet as the iscsi offload card, and started ok?
Could you provide the iface files you are using, the /var/log/messsage
logs, the /var/log/brcm-iscsi.log, and a network trace when the
connection fails? This will definitely help in debugging this problem.
Any idea what I am missing?
Is bnx2i driver able to connect with multiple paths on RHEL 5.5?
It works here. I have not tired it when they are all on the same subnet,
but from some of the bug fix patches it looks like broadcom has been
testing equalogic/dell targets so I think they have. ccing them.
Our PQA has tested this configuration, but you need to specify 1 iface
per path and specify the device using the MAC address of the HBA via the
'iface.hwaddress' field of the iface.
Thanks again.

@Mike
Both networkinterfaces are up and running. Connection with TCP
protocol on these interfaces is no problem.
Tey have IP addesses 10.10.77.163 and 10.10.77.164, which is the same
subnet as the bnx2i interfaces 10.10.77.63 and 10.10.77.64.
The netmask is 255.255.255.0. The EQ box has only one Group IP address
10.10.77.10.
I have found informations in the internet, that broadcon does not
support multpath connection with more than one adapter, because of
driver problems.
@Ben
I'm not in the office today, I will deliver the logs on monday. /var/
log/messages and iface files are included in my first posting.
The server has four broadcom dual port cards. For my first test I used
only one internal dual adapter. eth2 and eth3 are on one broadcom
interface with separete HW adresses. Might that be a problem?
I will test with two iface on two separate broadcom cards on monday.
Thanks again.
Michael
Monday morning, another try...
I will try to set up ONE bnx2i interface to connect with my EQ box.
I will use eth4 for that test.
eth4 is up and running:
eth4 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:18:64:98:B8
inet addr:10.10.77.165 Bcast:10.10.77.255 Mask:

RX bytes:162620 (158.8 KiB) TX bytes:101138 (98.7 KiB)
Interrupt:122 Memory:d600-d6012800
with these iface file I am able to connect with TCP protocol.
[r...@ora-db-rac1-04 ~]# iscsiadm --mode iface --interface eth4
# BEGIN RECORD 2.0-871
iface.iscsi_ifacename = eth4
iface.net_ifacename = eth4
iface.ipaddress = empty
iface.hwaddress = empty
iface.transport_name = tcp
iface.initiatorname = empty
# END RECORD
TCP connections works great!
Now I have configured my bnx2i iface as
[r...@ora-db-rac1-04 ~]# iscsiadm -m iface -I bnx2i.00:10:18:64:98:b9
# BEGIN RECORD 2.0-871
iface.iscsi_ifacename = bnx2i.00:10:18:64:98:b9
iface.net_ifacename = empty
iface.ipaddress = 10.10.77.65
iface.hwaddress = 00:10:18:64:98:b9
iface.transport_name = bnx2i
iface.initiatorname = empty
# END RECORD
Then I discover my target...
[r...@ora-db-rac1-04 ~]# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p
10.10.77.10 -I bnx2i.00:10:18:64:98:b9 -P3

Then I restart my iscsi service...Getting connect failure!
