Non-news on HP MPX100

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi,

just a short note on the HP MPX100 firmware: Different to the announcement made
some months ago, the most current firmware for the HP MPX100 (HP EVA iSCSI
connectivity option) included no change regarding Linux and CHAP: The
documenatation still says CHAP ist not supported for Linux. As the product is
actually from Qlogic, I'm not sure who's to blame.
The impression that I get from those software giants is that they completely
unable to react to markets demands. Sorry, but I had to let that off...

Regards,
Ulrich

So have you tried enabling CHAP and it does not work ?

If you can provide more details I can work with the group who is
responsible for this product and help try
to address it.

Thanks

No, I didn't even install the new firmware after having read the release notes.
After all, there are no instructions on how to configure it. With the version I
have already installed, I tried it, but it didn't work.

What I want to have is similar possibilities as are offered for Microsoft Windows.
Then I hope open-iscsi will contribute it's part as well ;-)
