Temporary solution to get the iSCSI nodes
Mike -- what should we be using that's actually going to give consistent output across versions of the iscsi tools? We can't have this changing all the time :( Sorry about that. iscsiadm should not have changed behavior for supported commands. iscsiadm -m node -p ippaddr was a bogus command. Passing only the ip addr in that command is a mistake and does not mean anything in older iscsiadms. iscsiadm saw that and thought the user passed in the ip addr by mistake, and so it dropped it and did "iscsiadm -m node" where that prints out all the node/portal records. If you wanted to print out all the node/portal records that have been found then you should do: iscsiadm -m node If you wanted to print out the node/portal records that have been found from a specific discovery ip, then when you do discovery it prints them out. So doing iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p ip will print out the portals found from that ip (note that there was a bug in old versions 2.0-7*, where all the portals that were ever found from any address were printed instead of just the ones from that ip). If you want to see all the portals found and how they match with their discovery methods then run: iscsiadm -m discovery -P 1 (this last command with the "-P 1" argument is only available on newer iscsiadm versions though). You guys should use the commands documented in the README and iscsiadm man page. Unless, there was a bug in the command and we cannot figure out what the original iscsiadm authors meant to do, there should always be compat code for those commands. The only exception is if a command is marked experimental or for debug/developer purposes or unstable, then you should not rely on it from release to release. I will make it so iscsiadm does a proper failure on unsupported commands instead of trying to guess about what the user wanted. Kostas -- thanks for the patch. And Mike, thanks for the clarification on the supported commands; hopefully we're good in that respect now from a quick look. Actually from what I remember from the code anaconda will use what it collected from the discover run lets say 10.0.0.1:3260,1 as an argument to -p which might break in the future. In any case with the fix in rawhide we are now a step closer to getting iSCSI root and support in the installer working again :) Although I am afraid that there might not be enough time for the F8 release :( |
