Hello all,
the short version of my question:
Is it possible to set firmware/offload engine parameters like e.g.
"Large_Frames" on QLogic HBAs via the "iscsiadm -m fw [...]" command?
The slightly longer version of my question ;-)
I'm having some difficulties trying to configure some HBA settings -
namely the IP address, subnet mask, iSCSI alias, iSCSI "Large_Frames"
and possibly other parameters too - from within the server OS using
the qaucli utility. The system parameters are:
- HBAs: QME/QMD8262, Dell OEM, FW Version: 4.18.04
- QConvergeConsole CLI "qaucli": Version 1.1.3 (Build 49)
- OS:
- Debian 7
- open-iscsi-2.0.873-3 (also tried a newer version from GIT)
- Kernel 3.16.7
- Driver "qla4xxx" v5.04.00-k6
I try to set e.g. the "Large_Frames" parameter in the iSCSI offload
engine of a HBA, which is already configured like shown below in the
example output titled "Before qaucli", with the command:
/opt/QLogic_Corporation/QConvergeConsoleCLI/qaucli -iscsi -n 0 LRGFRM on
After this, the "Large_Frames" parameter ends up being set correctly,
but in the process, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and iSCSI
name become corrupted like shown below in the example output titled
"After qaucli".
>From QLogic support i got a referral towards Dell, since it's a OEM
HBA. From Dell i got the answer that Debian isn't a supported OS. So
no help from the vendor side of this issue :-/
I'd rather refrain from using the qaucli utility altogether, but un-
fortunately i haven't been able to figure out if and how this can be
achieved with the "iscsiadm -m fw [...]" or a similar command.
Thanks & best regards,
Frank Fegert
