Jay, Yes, I'm currently using the server with be2iscsi, non-multipath, and against an IET target. The problem seems to mainly occur when the traffic being passed is very low. I'll post a wireshark dump in a couple of hours. Thanks, Seth On 12 July 2011 19:40, jayamohan.kallic...@emulex.com

Seth, The CQ Error 13 is done mostly when a Fin is received. If the same problem can be repro'd on iet , can you pl capture the wireshark trace on the target. That would be very helpful. Also, if NOP's are being sent ,then, I would assume the traffic is low and wireshark would not drop

Mike, Thanks for the speedy reply! The hung task warnings are saying that some IO has taken longer than the hung task timeout value which looks like it is 2 miniutes for you. Are you doing any type of port down/up type of test? Nope, just the following: - Power on blade - be2iscsi BIOS logs

Unfortunately there's very little technical documentation. This is one of HP's 'low end' SANs. I'll see if HP support has anything to say about it. I'm not really having luck with be2iscsi, now that i've managed to get it to login to the target, I'm getting the following kernel panic after around

Ah, normally you need iscsid running when iscsiadm is run. I think normally people just run iscsistart in the initramfs, then when the system runs on the real root we start iscsid and do discovery. Do you just get an error about not being able to connect to iscsid and that the default

I'll make a trace shortly. The only reason iscsi_tcp is loaded is so that the target can boot its OS and run an iscsiadm discovery. As far as I understand it, iscsiadm still can't discover if there's no route to the target. On Jun 9, 2011 6:15 PM, jayamohan.kallic...@emulex.com wrote: Thanks for

Oh yeah, to be able to use be2iscsi for root like below you must use be2iscsi for the initial boot (the bios int13 boot). So in the bios screens for be2iscsi, set the target you want to boot from, boot from it, then the commands below will use that same info for root boot. On 06/09/2011 01:12 PM,
