Description Bruno Goncalves 2012-03-12 08:27:49 UTC
Created attachment 569299 [details]
setup 512 LUs

Description of problem:
When creating more than 255 LU for a single target only 255 are presented to initiator.

When creating the LUs no error is reported.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scsi-target-utils-1.0.14-4.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the attached script to create 512 LUs (tgtd.sh)
2. iscsiadm -m discovery -p localhost -t st
3. iscsiadm -m node -l
4. iscsiadm -m session -P3 | grep sd | wc
  
Actual results:
Only 255 devices are shown

Expected results:
Should be able to login to all 512 devices


Additional information:
/var/log/messages shows the following error:
host 5 channel 0 id 0 lun16640 has a LUN larger than allowed by the host adapter

tgt-admin -s shows LUN information correctly.
        LUN: 512
            Type: disk
            SCSI ID: 512
            SCSI SN: 512

Comment 1 Mike Christie 2012-03-13 22:30:36 UTC
It seems tgtd is not sending the lun info how scsi-ml likes it. You can simpify this by just doing a target like this:

<target iqn.2008-09.com.tgtd.meanminna>
    <backing-store /tmp/loop-disk-1-1>
        scsi_sn 512
        scsi_id 512
        lun 512
    </backing-store>
</target>

remember for iscsi_tcp to increase the max_lun

modprobe iscsi_tcp max_lun=513

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 05:44:23 UTC
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Bruno Goncalves 2013-08-27 19:24:07 UTC
Verified fix on 2.6.32-397.el6.x86_64.

iscsiadm -m discovery -p localhost -t st

iscsiadm -m node -l

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2020-12-15 07:24:56 UTC
After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
