Public bug reported: We're seeing constant iSCSI session terminations and subsequent recreations on Ubuntu 16.04 hosts running IO to an E-Series Array using Jumbo Frames. We've pulled trace of the issue to determine a root cause and discovered that the host appears to be overrunning the Max Command Sequence Number set by the Target. The target is responds to this be killing that session and recreating a new one in it's place as an error recovery mechanism, so the crux of the issue is why the host seems to be falling outside of iSCSI compliance and overrunning the Max Command Sequence Number. This is the reason I went ahead and filed the bug against open-iscsi.
Attached are actually two separate traces from two separate recreate, one a Finisar Analyzer Trace, the other a typical TCP dump view-able through wire-shark. I've also attached the Apport data for open-iscsi in case that could be of any use. ** Affects: open-iscsi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Zip file containing a finisar trace, tcp dump, and apport output for open-iscsi" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615694/+attachment/4725797/+files/Defect860730.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615694 Title: Host experiencing constant session termination and recreation while using jumbo frames To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-iscsi/+bug/1615694/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
