solaris iscsi initiator

Can you disable the bond and try your tests again with out the bond.

turning off bonding didn't work....

The initiator code clearly shows my error code from the log:

logentry:

login failed - can't accept MaxOutstandingR2T 0

initiator code:

else if (strcmp(value, "1"))
{
cmn_err(CE_WARN, "iscsi connection(%u) login failed - can't accept MaxOutstandingR2T %s", icp->conn_oid, value);
return (ISCSI_STATUS_NEGO_FAIL);
}

This code also returns true if the 'value' == 0 as is the case. We can argue if this programming is corrent (strcmp return either: positive, negative or zero and the if statement is a boolean check) but the RFC (section 12.17) states:

MaxOutstandingR2T=<numerical-value-from-1-to-65535>

some more logoutput:

the target disconnects al my mounts and the will remain offline until I run something like format or devfsadm.

After adding removing targets the IET is restarted - this is how our iSCSI works. We have reviewd logs and nothing was noticable. Remko, for furture assistence could you please contact our UK office for technical assistence:

FYI - Our company has been using Cisco's version of the iscsi initiator for Solaris without any issues. It is much easier to setup than Sun's version. It is based on Solaris 8 and we have not tried it on Solaris 10. In the iscsi.conf, the only line you really need is DiscoveryAddress=x.x.x.x . You can't get much simpler than that.

Thanks for that info!! Let us know on the Solaris 10!
