Hi ALL,
I try to set up oracle cluster with four nodes (DELL R610) and
EqualLogig PS6000.
Servers has four Broadcom 5709C dual network cards, two intenal, two
PCI cards.
I`m trying to get the bnx2i driver to work using iSCSI offload for
four channels.
I can't get it to work, getting error
iscsiadm: Could not login to [iface: bnx2i.00:22:19:68:3a:04, target:
iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-76c630e04-e0492d35ddc63f-a1test,
portal: 10.10.77.10,3260):
iscsiadm: initiator reported error (4 - encountered connection
failure)
Showing nothing in /var/log/messages and no events on the EQ box.
So there is no iferror error in messages or nothing from iscsid?
DELL suport team is not shure if bnx2i driver will work with RHEL 5.5,
they ask me to reinstall RHEL 5.2, from my opinion is that not an
option.
I am using RHEL 5.5, oracle linux, kernel 2.6.18-194.11.1.0.1.el5 on
Is that a oracle linux kernel or the rhel 5.5 one? Are you running rhel
5.5 in a oracle linux vm?
x86_64
iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.871-0.16.el5
Also you need the updated iscsi utils.

All firmware of the R610 is up to date
All interfaces are shown as bnx2i

Are these IPs on the same subnet as the network port they are attached to?

Only four of them are connected to the SAN. How to figure out which hw-
adress belongs to which interface?
Start the iscsi service (or at least make sure bnx2i is loaded) then run:
[r...@meanminna kernel]# iscsiadm -m host -P 1
Host Number: 8
State: running
Transport: bnx2i
Initiatorname: <empty>
IPaddress: <empty>
HWaddress: 00:10:18:15:fd:f1
Netdev: eth1
You can see the network device the iscsi offload interface is attached
to (in this case eth1), and you can see the MAC/hwaddress for the iscsi
interface.
Is bnx2i driver supported for RHEL5.5?
Yes.
Is there a more detailed description for setting up such an
environment as the RedHat manuals?
Section 5.1.2 Setting up a iface for a iSCSI offload card of the iscsi
readme in /usr/share/docs/iscsi-initiator-utils-$VERSION/README
