Can you verify that the tgtd target is running properly ?


Just try to start it manually as root as :

killall -9 tgtd
tgtd

and verify it is running by  netstat -tapn | grep 3260


Thanks, that worked.

I'm currently running into an issue where I try to configure
in over 256 virtual tapes via iscsi and on the initiator I see:
On a different topic.
256 tape drives sounds an awful lot for a VTL.

Normally I would imagine that you would have only 2-4 tape drives in
the VTL,    but then have hundreds/thousands/tens-of-thousands
storage element slots for the tapes,   and a robot to shuffle the
tens-of-thousands of tapes between the slots and the 2-4 tape drives.


You really want>256 tape drives ?   not tapes,   tape drives ?

I am getting reports that the current limit of 128 is not sufficient.

Also, there was some recent activity on linux-scsi to remove that
limitation, which came up independently afaik.
