Description Laurie Barry 2016-02-26 20:47:20 UTC 
Error_screenshot

Chassis Model: BX400S1
Firmware Version: 6.75

Switch type: PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2(Mode:Switch)

Switch FW: 6.46

Blade Model: BX2580 M1
BIOS: V5.0.0.9 R1.26.00 for D3321-A1x
iRMC: 8.08F

Adapter(s): OCl14102-LOM
Type: SKH - LOM
Revision: Skyhawk
Firmware: 11.1.1.3
Device driver: NA
OCM: NA
Personality: NIC-Only
Multichannel (vNIC): NA

Steps to reproduce:
1) Flash 11.1.1.3 firmware on Skyhawk 1G LOM.
2) Add iBFT iscsi configuration attempts for generating user configurable iqn
address.
3) Make sure initiator iqn can be reachable to target.
4) Register initiator iqn in target and add a LUN to it.
5) Mount RHEL 7.1 GA'ed OS and boot to CD-ROM
6) During installation pass "ip=ibft" parameter under grub and continue
installation.
7) After some time installation is booting to Dracut Emergency shell.

Note: Installation of RHEL7.2 and SLES12 GMC3 OS is fine with "ip=ibft" kernel
parameter passed during installation.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
Installation should proceed fine 

ACTUAL RESULTS:
Installation is booting to Dracut emergency shell after passing ip=ibft
parameter.

Attaching screenshot.


IP address of ibft0

ibft0 interface created has been assigned different IP address than what is in
iBFT configuration.

When ibft0 is assigned the IP address in configuration, 172.168.5.200, then
initiator is able to login to the target and device appears.

Bring up of ibft0 from the configuration is done by boot and installer script
of RHEL7. Please raise a bz for this in RedHat bugzilla.

> Have you tried RHEL-7.2?

With RHEL7.2 it is working fine. We are able to boot to SAN OS (iBFT).
Comment 6 Harald Hoyer 2016-03-01 17:21:16 UTC 
or do you expect a fix of the 7.1/7.0 installation media?
Comment 7 Ramkumar 2016-03-02 06:49:39 UTC 
We see that this issue is closed for the Current Release when the issue is still persistent on RHEL 7.1. Can we know why was this issue was closed without proper resolution comments ?

Do you expect a z-stream fix for 7.1? 7.2 is not good enough?
Comment 9 Ramkumar 2016-10-04 04:05:24 UTC 
A quick fix for 7.1 will work. Our Automation scripts are failing on 7.1 because of this issue. We are supporting 7.1 drivers for all our OEM's.
