There is a new Linux iSCSI target in the Linux kernel 3.1. Unlike tgt, it supports SPC-3 compliant persistent reservations so that it can be used with fence_scsi. I encountered a bug in the iSCSI target (an easy workaround is available) and it was very helpful to see the actual commands that fence_scsi was running. I now have a fully working 3 node RHEL6.2 cluster with a Fedora 16 iSCSI target with working SCSI fencing. Please consider applying this patch so, that if logging is enabled, the actual command being run will be logged as well. Dax Kelson Guru Labs Workaround details -- the bug should be fixed when the scatterlist conversion is completed by Andy Grover, but for now modifying the allocation length used by the sg_persist commands to 512 by adding '-l 512' to the sg_persist command lines is the workaround. --- fence_scsi.org 2012-01-11 12:27:52.234042483 -0700 +++ fence_scsi 2012-01-10 18:09:34.301813562 -0700 @@ -208,7 +208,7 @@ # log_error ("$self (err=$err)"); # } - log_debug ("$self (err=$err)"); + log_debug ("$self (err=$err cmd=$cmd)"); return ($err); } @@ -245,7 +245,7 @@ # log_error ("$self (err=$err)"); # } - log_debug ("$self (err=$err)"); + log_debug ("$self (err=$err) (cmd=$cmd)"); return ($err); } @@ -265,7 +265,7 @@ # log_error ("$self (err=$err)"); # } - log_debug ("$self (err=$err)"); + log_debug ("$self (err=$err, cmd=$cmd)"); return ($err); } @@ -285,7 +285,7 @@ # log_error ("$self (err=$err)"); # } - log_debug ("$self (err=$err)"); + log_debug ("$self (err=$err cmd=$cmd)"); return ($err); } @@ -305,7 +305,7 @@ # log_error ("$self (err=$err)"); # } - log_debug ("$self (err=$err)"); + log_debug ("$self (err=$err cmd=$cmd)"); return ($err); } @@ -325,7 +325,7 @@ # log_error ("$self (err=$err)"); # } - log_debug ("$self (err=$err)"); + log_debug ("$self (err=$err cmd=$cmd)"); return ($err); } @@ -342,7 +342,7 @@ ## note that it is not necessarily an error is $err is non-zero, ## so just log the device and status and continue. - log_debug ("$self (dev=$dev, status=$err)"); + log_debug ("$self (dev=$dev, status=$err, cmd=$cmd)"); return ($err); } @@ -425,7 +425,7 @@ my $err = ($?>>8); if ($err != 0) { - log_error ("$self (err=$err)"); + log_error ("$self (err=$err cmd=$cmd)"); } # die "[error]: $self\n" if ($?>>8); @@ -447,7 +447,7 @@ my $err = ($?>>8); if ($err != 0) { - log_error ("$self (err=$err)"); + log_error ("$self (err=$err cmd=$cmd)"); } # die "[error]: $self\n" if ($?>>8); @@ -479,7 +479,7 @@ my $err = ($?>>8); if ($err != 0) { - log_error ("$self (err=$err)"); + log_error ("$self (err=$err cmd=$cmd)"); } # die "[error]: $self\n" if ($?>>8); @@ -576,7 +576,7 @@ my $err = ($?>>8); if ($err != 0) { - log_error ("$self (err=$err)"); + log_error ("$self (err=$err cmd=$cmd)"); } # die "[error]: $self\n" if ($?>>8); @@ -602,7 +602,7 @@ my $err = ($?>>8); if ($err != 0) { - log_error ("$self (err=$err)"); + log_error ("$self (err=$err cmd=$cmd)"); } # die "[error]: $self\n" if ($?>>8); -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
