Steps performed:
- Booted with Hardy (8.04) Server CD
- Issued command line "install iscsi=true"
- Followed prompts to Configure iSCSI.
- Entered IP address of iSCSI target
Expected result
- Presentation of targets on given host to select from and continue the install
Actual result
- Red screen: "An installation step failed. ... The failing step is: Configure
iSCSI"
Additional info / Troubleshooting steps:
A quick glance at the syslog output on tty4 indicates that the iSCSI subsystem
failed to start because the InitiatorName was not set in
/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi. Examination of this file via tty2 verifies
this is the case. Its contents are a bunch of comment lines followed by:
InitiatorName=
I attempted to set this value with nano and re-perform the Configure
iSCSI step. This was unsuccessful as my changes to
/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi were overwritten by d-i.
Hardware issues have been ruled out as I have attempted this on three
different physical machines.
