open-iscsi configuration for wasabi storage builder

2008-06-27 Thread Dominik L. Borkowski
Hello, I'm interested to see if anybody has a working configuration for open-iscsi initiator with a wasabi storage builder target. We have a few Wasabi Storage Builder 1.6 targets, which we've used for years with linux-iscsi and core-iscsi initiators. Recently we decided to repurpose them, a

Yet again I must have done something wrong since I was unable to set the timeout values to zero. Yesterday I removed all "saved data" meaning the nodes and send_targets directory from /etc/isci and reran the discovery, now the values where indeed set. I did this yesterday on two machines (one 64 a

Mike. Thanks for quick response. Following are the answer to your questions: Q. When the initiator logs back in, is the target sending a MaxCmdSN and ExpCmdSn that indicates the window is smaller? A. Yes Q. Are you digging in the code by any chance? A. I did a bit. Need to look more. Q. Did

Mike, Thanks for the patch. I came to the same conclusion after looking into the function iscsi_update_cmdsn(). Perhaps, you could do the same thing for hdr->opcode == ISCSI_OP_NOOP_IN. This will allow the target to dynamically adjust the window size in case of a resource constraint when running

Mike, After looking into the iSCSI spec again, I realized that target can't reduce the MaxCmdSN after the login has occurred. The iscsi_update_cmdsn() is fine. It is doing exactly what it is suppose to do. I guess, if the target does have to reduce the windows size, it can send an asynchronou
