Monday morning, another try...
I will try to set up ONE bnx2i interface to connect with my EQ box.
I will use eth4 for that test.
eth4 is up and running:
eth4 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:18:64:98:B8
inet addr:10.10.77.165 Bcast:10.10.77.255 Mask:
255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::210:18ff:fe64:98b8/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX bytes:162620 (158.8 KiB) TX bytes:101138 (98.7 KiB)
Interrupt:122 Memory:d600-d6012800
with these iface file I am able to connect with TCP protocol.
[r...@ora-db-rac1-04 ~]# iscsiadm --mode iface --interface eth4
# BEGIN RECORD 2.0-871
iface.iscsi_ifacename = eth4
iface.net_ifacename = eth4
iface.ipaddress =
iface.hwaddress =
iface.transport_name = tcp
iface.initiatorname =
# END RECORD
TCP connections works great!
Now I have configured my bnx2i iface as
[r...@ora-db-rac1-04 ~]# iscsiadm -m iface -I bnx2i.00:10:18:64:98:b9
# BEGIN RECORD 2.0-871
iface.iscsi_ifacename = bnx2i.00:10:18:64:98:b9
iface.net_ifacename =
iface.ipaddress = 10.10.77.65
iface.hwaddress = 00:10:18:64:98:b9
iface.transport_name = bnx2i
iface.initiatorname =
# END RECORD
Then I discover my target...
[r...@ora-db-rac1-04 ~]# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p
10.10.77.10 -I bnx2i.00:10:18:64:98:b9 -P3

mpio
Portal: 10.10.77.10:3260,1
Iface Name: bnx2i.00:10:18:64:98:b9
Then I restart my iscsi service...Getting connect failure!
[r...@ora-db-rac1-04 ~]# service iscsi restart
