libvirt users - Dec 2012 - iSCSI storage pool autostart

Hello everyone,

I have recently installed libvirt 1.0.0 and am having a problem with my
iSCSI storage pool's autostarting. They are just going to an inactive state
right after a reboot of the host. However once the startup is complete I
can manually start the pool without problem.

I am getting the following errors in the libvirtd.log file but they don't
really give me much as to what could be causing this. I also looked in the
messages log file but didn't find anything that looked useful.

*2012-11-27 20:06:50.845+0000: 1358: error : virCommandWait:2287 : internal
error Child process (/sbin/iscsiadm ?mode session) unexpected exit status 21
*
*2012-11-27 20:06:50.890+0000: 1358: error : virCommandWait:2287 : internal
error Child process (/sbin/iscsiadm ?mode session) unexpected exit status 21
*
*2012-11-27 20:07:10.159+0000: 1358: error : virCommandWait:2287 : internal
error Child process (/sbin/iscsiadm ?mode discovery ?type sendtargets
?portal 192.168.220.50:3260,1) unexpected exit status 4*
*2012-11-27 20:07:10.159+0000: 1358: error : storageDriverAutostart:101 :
Failed to autostart storage pool ?stoPool01?: internal error Child process
(/sbin/iscsiadm ?mode discovery ?type sendtargets ?portal
192.168.220.50:3260,1) unexpected exit status 4*

If anyone has any ideas what is causing this it would be a great help. If
you need more information let me know.

Thanks,

Darcy

Hi again everyone.

Sorry to answer my own question but I found the solution. Isn't that the
way, right after you post to the mailing list its solved!

Anyway I found this thread from a couple years ago and it talks about it
being an ARP issue (
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2010-March/msg00038.html). I
enabled portfast on my switch ports that connects to my hosts and this
solved it. I guess my servers can restart faster than my switch ports.
