Hello All,

I am using rhel5.2 with OFED 1.3.1 drivers for linux, and noticing that the initiator is unable to connect over iSER. My question is - is iSER support available in 1.3.1? When I try and connect using ipoib address, I get a connection failure. I am using Sun x64 comstar iSCSI target (with iser transport) and rhel5.2 as the initiator.

Here's what I did from the rhel5.2 initiator:-
(all of these commands succeeded without errors or warnings)
# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:301a8b75-39fc-4599-95f4-b29586cb0513 -p 192.168.0.5:3260,1 -o new # iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:301a8b75-39fc-4599-95f4-b29586cb0513 -p 192.168.0.5:3260,1 -o update -n iface.transport_name -v iser # iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:301a8b75-39fc-4599-95f4-b29586cb0513 -p 192.168.0.5:3260,1 -o update -n node.session.iscsi.ImmediateData -v No # iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:301a8b75-39fc-4599-95f4-b29586cb0513 -p 192.168.0.5:3260,1 -o update -o update -n node.conn[0].iscsi.HeaderDigest -v None

During login/discovery I see the following error message -

# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:301a8b75-39fc-4599-95f4-b29586cb0513 -p 192.168.0.5:3260,1 --login Login session [iface: default, target: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:301a8b75-39fc-4599-95f4-b29586cb0513, portal: 192.168.0.5,3260]

I can connect to the iSCSI target using sockets, but iser transport seems to be having problems.

Am I missing something here? is iSER transport available in v1.4?

thanks,
