[OpenIndiana-discuss] Dying iSCSI Initiator

[James Relph]

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone has seen this problem before.  We're running OI 151a7 under VMware 5.  We had the system go down (hardware failure effectively) and when we brought it back up, it can no longer access any iscsi targets (also OI 151a7, but running on baremetal on the storage side).

The system is actually unresponsive unless I boot with milestone=none and clear the iSCSI configuration.  The server can ping, ssh and otherwise connect fine to the storage servers, but we get lots of:

iscsi discovery failure - SendTargets (x.x.x.x)

errors.  If I reboot to milestone=none, I can wipe out the iSCSI config and the machine will boot fine.  In /var/adm/messages we get:

iscsi session resource is in use

but I can't find anything that seems relevant when searching for that.

I'd be grateful for any tips!

Thanks,

James
