Hi Mike, In the meantime i've kind of got it to work but i feel like acting blind.
I've not followed any of the steps i've found in the documentation across the web. Instead i've used 1. iscsistart .... 2. partitioned the newly created device mounted it and that's it Now i wonder what's going on if this demands such an exception. - - - requested output, credentials obfuscated --- iscsiadm -m node -T mytarget -p 11.22.33.44 # BEGIN RECORD 2.0-868 node.name = mytarget node.tpgt = -1 node.startup = manual iface.hwaddress = default iface.iscsi_ifacename = default iface.net_ifacename = default iface.transport_name = tcp node.discovery_address = <empty> node.discovery_port = 0 node.discovery_type = static node.session.initial_cmdsn = 0 node.session.initial_login_retry_max = 2 node.session.cmds_max = 128 node.session.queue_depth = 32 node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP node.session.auth.username = myusername node.session.auth.password = ******** node.session.auth.username_in = myusername node.session.auth.password_in = ******** node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 120 node.session.err_timeo.abort_timeout = 15 node.session.err_timeo.lu_reset_timeout = 30 node.session.err_timeo.host_reset_timeout = 60 node.session.iscsi.FastAbort = Yes node.session.iscsi.InitialR2T = Yes node.session.iscsi.ImmediateData = Yes node.session.iscsi.FirstBurstLength = 262144 node.session.iscsi.MaxBurstLength = 16776192 node.session.iscsi.DefaultTime2Retain = 0 node.session.iscsi.DefaultTime2Wait = 2 node.session.iscsi.MaxConnections = 1 node.session.iscsi.MaxOutstandingR2T = 1 node.session.iscsi.ERL = 0 node.conn[0].address = 11.22.33.44 node.conn[0].port = 3260 node.conn[0].startup = manual node.conn[0].tcp.window_size = 524288 node.conn[0].tcp.type_of_service = 0 node.conn[0].timeo.logout_timeout = 15 node.conn[0].timeo.login_timeout = 15 node.conn[0].timeo.auth_timeout = 45 node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 5 node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 5 node.conn[0].iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLength = 131072 node.conn[0].iscsi.HeaderDigest = None,CRC32C node.conn[0].iscsi.IFMarker = No node.conn[0].iscsi.OFMarker = No # END RECORD On 24 jul, 18:22, Mike Christie <micha...@cs.wisc.edu> wrote: > On 07/24/2009 03:42 AM, Joris wrote: > > > Hello, > > > I'm new to iscsi and ran into an authentication error with errocode > > 02/01 (target). > > Could you send the entire error message? > > And could you send the output of > > iscsiadm -m node -T your_target -p ip > > > I've succeeded in manually creating a login using -m session but this > > session hangs in the Session State: Unknown of which no recovery seems > > possible upto now. > > Session state unknown just means the kernel does not export that info. > It probably would have been better to use a different work there. > > What does it say for the other states? > > > > > As i did not want to reboot the machine.
