Hello,
I'm trying to use a qlogic hba to do offloading. I don't fully
understand
anything. I am following the readme file. The following things aren't
clear to me:
1) I get an extra interface (eth1). Should I give that interface an ip
address? If I don't, I can't ping the target. What is this interface
needed for?
2) I set an ip address on the iface reported by iscsiadm:
r...@isis:/usr/share/doc/open-iscsi# iscsiadm -m iface
default tcp,<empty>,<empty>,<empty>,<empty>
iser iser,<empty>,<empty>,<empty>,<empty>
qla4xxx.00:c0:dd:0e:e3:ad
qla4xxx,00:c0:dd:0e:e3:ad,192.168.201.4,<empty>,<empty>
r...@isis:/usr/share/doc/open-iscsi# iscsiadm -m iface -I
qla4xxx.00:c0:dd:0e:e3:ad
# BEGIN RECORD 2.0-871
iface.iscsi_ifacename = qla4xxx.00:c0:dd:0e:e3:ad
iface.net_ifacename =<empty>
iface.ipaddress = 192.168.201.4
iface.hwaddress = 00:c0:dd:0e:e3:ad
iface.transport_name = qla4xxx
iface.initiatorname =<empty>
# END RECORD
However, then discovery doesn't work:
r...@isis:/usr/share/doc/open-iscsi# iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p
192.168.201.200:3260 -I qla4xxx.00:c0:dd:0e:e3:ad
iscsiadm: Could not offload sendtargets to 192.168.201.200.
iscsiadm: initiator reported error (1 - unknown error)
I'm running 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 (Debian Squeeze) and
2.0.871.3-2squeeze1 of
open-iscsi..
Any help in pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.
Did you configure the qla4xxx HBA using the qlogic tools?
I don't think you can configure it using open-iscsi/iscsiadm ..

ip address can be configured using bios.
Yeah, configuring qla4xxx HBAs is usually a combination
of doing the initial configuration from the HBA BIOS during system
power on,
and then doing additional configuration using Qlogic iSCSI SanSurfer
or the qlogic cmdline tool, after installing qlogic drivers (and the
agent) for the HBA.

Hi Pasi,
Are you using inbox iSCSI qlogic initiator driver (which comes with the
kernel stack) or outbox driver?
Because for me inbox qla driver works on configuring ip from BIOS
(without using any other utility like Qlogic San Surfer) and also there
are no ioctl in iSCSI qla4xxx inbox driver for Qlogic San Surfer to
communicate with it.
To use the qlogic tools, san surfer and iscli, you have to use the
qlogic out box drivers you get on qlogic.com.
