Re: iscsiadm: iface iter could not read dir /var/lib/iscsi/nodes/
Hi! My apologies to bharatvivek2972. I believe Mike, who was answering questions here, moved on from open-iscsi, and I didn't notice this thread needed more attention. I believe the problem here is that iscsiadm is not set up for parallel operation. So no, you can not run logins in parallel. But, there is a new "no wait" option that one could pass to iscsiadm that would speed up such serialized requests. It's the "-W"/"--no_wait". Your distro may not have this feature yet, but it's upstream, and it tells iscsiadm not to wait for the login to complete. When the caller uses this option, iscsiadm returns as soon as it has sent the login request to the target. The login either fails or succeeds, in the background, as managed by iscsid. It's up to the caller to poll or check for success. Using this option, one could do: /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -T -p --login -W /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -T -p --login -W /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -T -p --logiDhirajn -W /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -T -p --login -W Of course, it might be faster to run: /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -l -W i.e. let iscsiadm log into all the targets in the node database, but in the case where you only want some of the targets to be logged into, the above should work. In your case Dhiraj I'm not sure you are doing things in parallel. Are you? It might be that the node database was screwed up by some earlier parallel operation(s)?

Re: iscsiadm: iface iter could not read dir /var/lib/iscsi/nodes/
Can you easily replicate this? If so, could you run iscsiadm with debugging on? Just add -d 8: /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2001-03.jp.nec:storage01:ist-m000-sn000942014090.lx-ddsldset-0018.target0016 -p 172.168.2.165 --login -d 8 Hi Mike, This problem is intermittent. I can try reproducing this, but i am not sure whether this problem would hit or not. Is there some particular condition in which iscsiadm: Could not execute operation on all records: encountered iSCSI database failure is retrieved ? Is it safe to create multiple parallel login session's by iscsiadm command ? Eg: /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -T IQN-1 -p PORT --login /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -T IQN-2 -p PORT --login /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -T IQN-3 -p PORT --login /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -T IQN-4 -p PORT --login .. .. /sbin/iscsiadm -m node -T IQN-20 -p PORT --login and what can be consequences of logging into the same IQN again and again without logout from it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups open-iscsi group.
