Hi there,

please help....
M using CentOS 5.3 x64 bit and i trying to mount storage FUJITSU
ETERNUS DX440 SAN 172.141.127.221 ( iSCSI Name : iqn.
2000-09.com.fujitsu:storage-system.eternus-dx400:00001580) to my
server 172.141.127.27.
i had created 3LUN's 1TB, 2TB and 500GB
when i m trying to do this: iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.
2000-09.com.fujitsu:storage-system.eternus-dx400:00001580 -p
172.141.127.221 -l
its gives me error: Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.
2000-09.com.fujitsu:storage-system.eternus-dx400:00001580, portal:

so what to do in this case. ?
same thing i had followed in differnt server (172.141.127.217) in

Hello Mike Christie,

some details of my server with /var/log/messeges file given below:

few days back i had try to install iscsi* pkg with rpm command on that time pkg requiring some dependencies " libsysfs.so.1 "

but yesterday i had created yum server and installed iscsi* pkg with "yum install iscsi*" command and pkg installed sucessfully, i think its some pkg undependency with kernal, m not sure but i think soo. you know very well about this thats why i had mailed you this problem.

Are you building your own kernel or using the centos one? You need to enable the crc32c module.

It should be done for you if you are using the centos kernel.

Before trying to do any iscsi commands just run

lsmod | grep crc

Do you see the crc32c module? If not try

modprobe crc32c

Do you see it now?

If not look in

/lib/modules/$YOUR_KERNEL/kernel/crypto

do you see it (I am not sure if it was built as a module in centos 5.3).

Do you have the crc32c_intel one instead?

Send the /boot/config-$YOUR_KERNEL file so I can see how your kernel was compiled.

It should be built in. I tried centos 5.6 and it worked for me. Could you try a newer version. I think centos 5.7 or 5.8 is out. Centos 6.1 also worked for me.

Dear Mike Christie,

i had installed Centos5.7 and Centos6 in seperate machine and try to mount LUN from storage and i got sucess and i had also tried with RHEL5 and RHEL6 but m using centos 5.3 in my machine, basiclly cluster running on this server and some applications also running on this server and i dont want to upgrade this server , only in this machine m not able to mount LUN from storage through ISCSI.

oki u r talking about some kernal modules and crc32c what is that ? can u plz share some info regarding this with me.....

Can you just try to do a clean install of the system with the older OS
or use RHEL 5.3 since it seems you have access to that? RHEL 5.3 should
work too.

It is just some kernel module used for digests. We always load it in
case we need it later on.

Upgrade to something that works.

If you are using RHEL and have a subscription and support contract just contact them. Maybe they will do some sort of backport for you.

Hi, dear all
I want to change mtu to 8000. But I don't know how about the
open-iscsi support. Any reply will be helpful, thanks.

Hello,

MTU size is set on the NICs iSCSI is using, not by open-iscsi itself. So it depends on the distro of Linux where that change needs to be made.

Is this for software iscsi or for iscsi offload. For software iscsi then
you set it on your nic like you normally would, so look it up in google
:) For iscsi offload then make sure you are using the current open-iscsi
release with a 3.4 or newer kernel and see the README's section "5.1.2
Setting up a iface for a iSCSI offload card".
