Hi list! I have a server with dual port Qlogic iSCSI HBA. I set up the same LUN for both ports, and boot the CentOS installer with "linux mpath". Installer detects multipathing fine, and creates mpath0 device for root disk. Installation goes fine, and the system boots up and works fine after the install from the multipath root device. After install the setup is like this: LUN 0 on

Upon system boot, is it ok to mount OCFS2 mounts from /etc/rc.local rather than /etc/fstab ? Are there any downsides to using rc.local that you are aware of? Example /etc/rc.local script: #!/bin/sh # # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

How can I get the mapper device permissions set on reboot? When I attempted to try this... # cat /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions | grep mapper mapper/mpath*:oracle:dba:0660 But it did not seem to work... # ls -l /dev/mapper/mpath* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 2 Feb 26 20:56 /dev/mapper/mpath0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 5 Feb 26 20:56 /dev/mapper/mpath0p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk

Hi, I'm trying to disconnect some iSCSI targets, but can't seem to.

I have a new Dell PowerEdge 2950 running CentOS 5.0 out-of-box and a Dell MD3000i. I am new to iscsi and, with google and included documentation, am having a heck of a time trying to get the RAID volumes I have created on the 3000i to be seen by the OS as usuable drives. I have printed out SMcli and iscsiadm documentation. I have asked on the linux-poweredge at dell.com site, too. Many

Hi, I am little puzzled. I looked through the mailing list archive and some other sources but doesn't seem like anything anyone encountered. I have two systems with attached HP SAN. I'm using SLES 10.1 with multipath-tools. When trying to mount OCFS2 device I get this: SERVER:/ # mount.ocfs2 /dev/mapper/mpath0 /mnt/temp/ mount.ocfs2: Invalid argument while mounting

Dear list, we have a relatively new Sun Storage 7310, where we connect CentOS 5.5 Servers (IBM LS21/LS41 Blades) via Brocade Switches, 4GBit FC. The Blades boot from SAN via qla2xxx, and have no harddisks at all. We want them to use multipathing from the very beginning, so /boot and / are already seen by multipathd. Problem is, that the Sun 7310 has two storage heads which run in

Hi, How do I setup multiple password protected iSCSI targets on Linux? I know that mounting a password protected iSCSI target requires modify these records with the appropriate values: node.session.auth.username = My_ISCSI_USR_NAME node.session.auth.password = MyPassword discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = My_ISCSI_USR_NAME discovery.sendtargets.auth.password = MyPassword But, now I need

Hi, I'd like to know what would be the best way to remove an iscsi lvm storage from a server. (removing all reference to that storage etc.) The storage in question will be reset and reformated and used on a different server; so no LVM export is needed. Do I have to do lvremove ..., vgremove ..., pvremove ... and do an iscsiadm -m node -T ... -p ... -u and iscsiadm -m node -o delete -T ...

Hi all, I have the strangest problem on one of our backup server. iscsi doesn't start at all, and gives the following error: [root at 2U-NAS ~]# /etc/init.d/iscsi status iscsid is stopped [root at 2U-NAS ~]# /etc/init.d/iscsi start iscsid is stopped Starting iSCSI daemon: Unable to create pid file: /var/run/brcm_iscsiuio.pid [FAILED] Setting up iSCSI targets: iscsiadm: No records

Hi all, After finding multiples answers to this question via google, but without making it work on my servers. Has anybody iSCSI Offload working on a Dell Server with Broadcom NICs ? My environment: I'm running CentOS 5.6 CR, on a Dell PowerEdge R710 with Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 conecting to an EMC CX4-120 SAN, via 2x Cisco 2960G-24TC-L switches. It's working

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

Hi! I'm new to libvirt and face problems connecting to an iSCSI target. What I intend to do is to connect libvirt (I tried virt-manager and virsh) to an iSCSI target and then boot from the LUNs which contain the VMs. I followed the documentation¹ but got stuck at section 12.1.5.4.3. 1) virsh pool-define-as \ --name foo \ --type iscsi

I'm seeing some strange behavior from OCFS2 while trying to mount mpath/dm-multipath devices under RHEL5. Sometimes I can mount the EMC-connected, dual-pathed volumes just fine and sometimes I get "device busy" errors. I've tried mounting by label and also by explicit /dev/mapper/mpathXpY name with the same unpredictable behavior. I've also noticed that sometimes when a

After that i mapped iscsi and trying to mount partition again but: When i run the pvdisplay i get the following erro: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error And cannot mount

Hi, I increased the size of one of the LUNs and on CentOS 5.4 if I restart iscsi (`service iscsi restart`) I'll see the the new size but this will disconnect all other LUNs. I'm hoping that there is isciadm or some other command that will force iscsi to rediscover the LUNs but I can't seem to be able to come up with one. Resize2fs says that there is nothing to be done. I'm

Hi, Is it possible to discover iSCSI targets using libvirt API..? OR is it possible to get the similar results of below commands using libvirtAPI..? iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal server1.example.com sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.0.10 Regards Sijo

I am trying to install Oracle RAC in a two node cluster for testing purposes, so performance is not something that concerns me. I just want to go through the process all the way to creating a database. I have all the prerequisites except the shared storage and thought I'd give this a try. I'm running: - CentOS 5.3 kernel 2.6.18-164.el5 - iscsitarget-1.4.18-1 -
