I confirm this. What happened is the following: We had two LUNs in demo accessed by 8 ESX servers, on each ESX server we had at least VMs on it. Each ESX had 3 private LUNs presented. I also setup another VLAN with a similiar setup, but noone connected to these LUNs. And two LUNs I used for a Linux iscsi initiator tests for Doug. Shortly before the inicident happened, we upgraded all our ESX servers from 5.1 GA to the newest available build, always two at the same time. Than I started to do the course evaluation and during the course evaluation a participant told me that his ESX server locked up and he add a lot of alerts and everything stalled, a second one said me, too and another. So the first thing I checked was the iSCSI target and I saw the dmesg output. So I typed in: reboot And this is when target was stopped. The system rebooted and came up and the ESX servers got the connection back and everything returned to to normal. A few tasks in vCenter took little while to timeout but that is normal after such a situation. This weekend I was slacking to recharge after last weeks 16 hour days. :-) I'll try to reproduce this issue but I assume it is hard, because I do not know what triggered it and I don't want to run another class until I'm able to reproduce it and it is fixed with it. But I'll report back as soon as I can. If there is a hunch or any idea what could have triggered it, let me know otherwise I'll do the followin in order to try to reproduce it: - Install 12 ESX servers - Do a setup similiar to the lab setup. - Generate load by provisioning VMs, booting them up, migrating them. - Update the ESX servers. And I hope it will trigger, but the thing is the target was four days rock stable and we punched with 27 concurrent svMotion. Every so called enterprise storage would have yielded. :-) Cheers, Thomas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
