This is still an occurring issue that is preventing my server, which uses a dedicated iSCSI HBA, from being able to successfully boot after a fresh install.
The short of it is as follows: - OS installs via the dedicated iSCSI HBA - open-iscsi gets installed, then gets configured to autostart and use the same lun the HBA is using - open-iscsi takes the lun from the HBA during boot, the system completely locks There doesn't seem to be a choice given regarding the installation of open-iscsi during the installation for server versions of 14.04.1 or 14.10, it just blindly installs the package and auto-configures it. At the very least there should be an option to prevent open-iscsi from installing or by default install it so it does not start at boot if a dedicated HBA is detected. The hardware is a Dell PowerEdge 810 with a QLogic isp4032-based HBA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850960 Title: iscsid tries to reconnect existing session at startup, failing to do so and hanging the system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-iscsi/+bug/850960/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
