upon closer investigation i discovered some details. in the initrd of the installer and in the scsi-modules-3.11.0-11-generic-di_3.11.0-11.17_amd64.udeb some necessary drivers are absent:
/lib/modules/3.11.0-11-generic/kernel/drivers/firmware/iscsi_ibft.ko /lib/modules/3.11.0-11-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/cnic.ko /lib/modules/3.11.0-11-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/bnx2i/bnx2i.ko /lib/modules/3.11.0-11-generic/kernel/drivers/uio/uio.ko /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi is detected incorrectly. it should be taken from Emulex CNA adapter. please note that a blade may have some adapters so some different initiator names may exist simultaneously. these names in a form of "iface.initiatorname = ..." may be written in files describing corresponding interfaces in /etc/iscsi/ifaces/* i managed to connect iscsi disk manually and then to install OS on it. i went to "Execute a shell", copied drivers mentioned above, run commands # modprobe iscsi_tcp # modprobe bnx2i # iscsiadm -m iface # iscsiadm -m fw -l after that i returned to installer. OS was installed successfully. but open-iscsi scripts which are used when creating initrd and also during OS start are not intended to work with Emulex CNA adapter. in these scripts some additional modules should be loaded and some iscsiadm commands should be run. also please note that above iscsi LUNs connected in such a way multipath-tools and multipath-tools-boot should work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238169 Title: 13.04 server: Fujitsu BX900/DX90 installation problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-iscsi/+bug/1238169/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
