I experimented around a bit and here are my observations: 1. tgtd (Version 1.0.24) which comes with CentOS 6.4 distribution doesn't have iSER support. Configured targets as iscsi/tcp. Initiator is able to discover the target and login successfully. 2. Compiled latest code from git tree (Version 1.0.39) in iSCSI mode and configured targets as iscsi/tcp. Initiator is still able to discover targets and login successfully. 3. Compiled code from git tree (Version 1.0.39) for iSER support and configured targets as iscsi/tcp. Initiator fails to discover targets. Same is the case when the targets are configured as iser.
Oh, I think I got it.. when you enable iser we open an RDMA listerner on the RDMA equivalent of the iSCSI TCP port (say 3260), but the iSCSI TCP part of TGT does this too. You might end up with a mess, I guess.
With IB and RoCE the problem doesn't exist, only with iWARP, since it uses TCP under the RDMA cover. its called the "port space" problem, a solution to solve that was recently submitted upstream but has some way to go before
merged and available to use.
