Hi, we are trying to get the iSCSI Initiator running on SLES 10 SP3 XEN Kernel 2.6.16.60-0.54.5-xen #1 SMP module-init-tools version 3.2.2 the initiator connects and logs in to the target (SLES10SP3). but doesnt make the device node, the dmesg output is :- scsi4 : iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP 4:0:0:0: scsi scan: consider passing scsi_mod.dev_flags=IET:VIRTUAL-DISK:0x240 or 0x1000240 in the syslog :- Feb 13 14:07:37 POS2-HOST kernel: scsi4 : iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP Feb 13 14:07:37 POS2-HOST kernel: 4:0:0:0: scsi scan: consider passing scsi_mod.dev_flags=IET:VIRTUAL-DISK:0x240 or 0x1000240 Feb 13 14:07:37 POS2-HOST iscsid: connection4:0 is operational now it would appear the scsi module does recognise the vendor and module as a scsi block device. I have tried adding the following lines to /etc/modprobe.conf.local options scsi_mod dev_flags="IET:VIRTUAL-DISK:0x240" or options scsi_mod dev_flags="IET:VIRTUAL-DISK:0x1000240" rebooted several times, with the same error message even added the scsi_mod.dev_flags=IET:VIRTUAL-DISK:0x240 to the kernel boot options, again the same error. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas ?
