You can turn off ping/nops by setting

node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 0
node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 0

(set that in iscsid.conf then rediscovery the target or run "iscsiadm -m 
node -T your_target -o update -n name_of_param_above -v 0"

Or you might want to set them higher.

This might just work around. What might happen is that you will not see 
the nop/ping and conn errors and instead would just see a slow down in 
the workloads being run.

If you guys can get a hold of any infrotrend people let me know, because 
I would be happy to work with them on this.
