Public bug reported: #Hello,
#I am not qualified to authoritatively state where the optimal place for options qla2xxx qlini_mode="disabled" should be---but documentation indicates it should be placed into /etc/modprobe.d/qla2xxx.conf and when placed into here, it appears a modprobe qla2xxx is being run somewhere within the startup of targetcli and this appears to take precedent to options within /etc/modprobe.d/qla2xxx.conf #my setup: #clean install of ubuntu server 14.04 LTS 64-bit lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty # #Hardware Qlogic QLA2564 #I've followed guidance from wiki: #http://www.linux-iscsi.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel echo 'options qla2xxx qlini_mode="disabled"' > /etc/modprobe.d/qla2xxx.conf #reboot targetcli /qla2xxx create WWWN #Creation of target fails, a lot of unnecessary error output. # validate qla2xxx module is in target mode.... cat /sys/module/qla2xxx/parameters/qlini_mode enabled #This should read: disabled service target stop rmmod qla2xxx modprobe options qla2xxx qlini_mode="disabled" cat /sys/module/qla2xxx/parameters/qlini_mode disabled service target start /qla2xxx create WWWN # success shutdown -r now cat /sys/module/qla2xxx/parameters/qlini_mode enabled # qla2xxx modules are again no longer in target mode for targetcli.... # workaround --such that options qla2xxx qlini_mode="disabled" is in place upon reboot: # Disclaimer: this is probably not the proper place for it----but if if i edited /etc/target/qla2xxx_start.sh such that first line includes options qla2xxx qlini_mode="disabled" and i reboot, i can create targets with targetcli as intended ** Affects: targetcli (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1390158 Title: targetcli - unable to create FC target due to module qla2xxx To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/targetcli/+bug/1390158/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
