Hi,
Well... I looked into the NICs config to make sure it's on. On BIOS I can
see the 4 onboard NICs. On these I can chage from "no boot" / PXE / iSCSI boot. And
the BIOS "detect" that this NICs are TOE & ISOE "capable". I had PXE on the first one
and "no boot" on the other 3. From the NICs firmware menu I can see all the 8 NICs
(including the 4 onboard), I can change the same options, no option to enable/disable iSCSI
Offload, only iSCSI boot.
I'm trying the instructions from:
- http://www.open-iscsi.org/docs/README
- http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/pdf/Online_Storage_Reconfiguration_Guide/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-5-Online_Storage_Reconfiguration_Guide-en-US.pdf
- http://webpages.marshall.edu/~wolfe21/papers/rhel5-iscsi-HOWTO.pdf
All of these say almost the same, and I can configure open-iscsi to access the EMC SAN using the two
broadcom NICs using dm-multipath. But when I tryed to use the second MAC on the NIC (to activate
iSCSI Offload) then I can't connect on the SAN. I can discovery it using the second MAC, but can't connect.
Using "default" iface, it will conect using eth1 or eth2:
