Trying to enable scsi target mode on a QLA2460 with OF 2.3a with the new
testing kernel. I am not explicitly familiar with the driver loading
procedure but I have modified /etc/modprobe.conf from:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# cat modprobe.conf
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter qla2xxx
alias scsi_hostadapter1 aic7xxx
alias scsi_hostadapter2 megaraid_mbox
alias scsi_hostadapter3 ata_piix
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# cat modprobe.conf
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter qla2xxxt
alias scsi_hostadapter1 aic7xxx
alias scsi_hostadapter2 megaraid_mbox
alias scsi_hostadapter3 ata_piix
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
as well as:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# cat modprobe.conf
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter isp_mod
alias scsi_hostadapter1 aic7xxx
alias scsi_hostadapter2 megaraid_mbox
alias scsi_hostadapter3 ata_piix
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
and target mode doesn't seem to be a possiblity:

I'm sure I'm just ignorant of the correct procedure but would appreciate any
pointers here.
Thanks!

Subject: [OF-users] New kernel available for testing
Hi,
We're readying a new OF release and have worked up an updated kernel that
integrates all the external modules that were once shipped separately.
************************************************************************
PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ONLY INSTALL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED
IN ASSISTING WITH TESTING
************************************************************************
There are also some nifty new integrations such as FC target support and
something from SGI called Comprehensive System Accounting (CSA). You can
learn more about that here:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/csa/
CSA might not mean much to you if you're running Openfiler in a small
network, but for larger setups, it allows you to bill individual
users/groups based on their resource usage profile. If you want to play
around with CSA you'll also need to install the userland components:
1) conary update [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1-contrib
2) conary update [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1-contrib
3) conary update [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1-contrib
Also integrated is SCST and iSCSI-SCST which we might use to replace IET
in the future. Details for both are here:
http://scst.sourceforge.net/
If you wish to play around with FC target support (you'll need an Qlogic
FC controller):
1) conary update [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1-contrib --no-deps
2) service scst start
3) then run scstadmin for instructions
If you have an Qlogic FC controller, please go ahead and use the isp_mod
kernel module (in place of qla2xxx). We're especially interested in how
that performs under load.
caveat emptor: isp_mod seems to hang the system on some configs. So you
could try the alternative qla2xxxt module which is the standard qla2xxx
with target mode support patched in. I've renamed it to qla2xxxt so that
you can have both the original qla2xxx and the integrated target support
qla2xxxt linked into the kernel concurrently.
To enable FC target support for a qlogic HBA:
1) Edit /etc/modprobe.conf
2) map qla2xxxt to your FC HBA (eg. alias scsi_hostadapter qla2xxxt)
3) echo "1" >/sys/class/scsi_host/host0/target_mode_enabled
Updating to the new kernel will also require an update to the iSCSI target
userland component:
1) conary update iscsi_trgt
Please provide feedback via this mailing list or the bug tracker:
https://project.openfiler.com/tracker/newticket
So without further ado:
conary update kernel:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:kernel-test
R.
