Data Digest always None during iBFT based boot

2009-04-09 Thread Karen Xie
Hi, Data digest is always offered as None, even for iBFT based boot sessions started by iscsistart. I was trying to boot RHEL5 U3, and it installs and boots fine to the iSCSI LUN, with Header digest on, and Data digest off. But if the Target always requires Data digests on, the login will fail
