I'm not quite sure what's wrong here as last I knew this was working and I don't see a recent libvirt rhel7 change in this area.... It seems as though you've set everything up similarly to bz 957294 and 957295 - perhaps my eyes are deceiving me, but it worked there. I'm trying to use Beaker to get access to a RHEL7 system as I have f19 and f20 installed on systems I can access. The f19 system doesn't have the right qemu version and the f20 system with qemu 1.5.1, libiscsi 1.9.0-4, and libvirt 1.1.3.1-2 is busy right now installing an f20 guest over the network using an iSCSI target. Couple of notes from what was provided: 1. Your '/etc/tgt/targets.conf' lists "direct-store", while mine has "backing-store". Perhaps that's just a nuance of using me using local file storage rather than a whole partition 2. Step 6 in comment 2 shows "<host name="ipaddress" port="3260"/>", I assume you really put the real IP Address in place of "ipaddress"... One thing that sticks out to me is the error message - that doesn't come from libvirt. It comes from within qemu (perhaps block.c from what I can tell from a quick look at the sources). The concern here is the garbage characters, as if something has already been free'd or it's referencing a complete bad part of memory. I added a needinfo from Paolo just to be sure there's nothing that perhaps changed here from the qemu side.
Oh, sorry for clear the needinfo? for Paolo, re-needinfoing.
Reproduce this issue on libiscsi-1.9.0-4.el7.x86_64 with the same steps as comment #0. host info: 3.10.0-76.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.5.3-38.el7.x86_64 libiscsi-1.9.0-4.el7.x86_64 guest info: 3.10.0-76.el7.x86_64 Steps: 1. Prepare the iscsi target server: 1) On the iscsi target server, created the target by adding an XML entry to the configuration file: # vim /etc/tgt/targets.conf <target iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2> backing-store /iscsi.img incominguser redhat redhat </target> # service tgtd restart # tgt-admin --show Target 1: iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2 System information: Driver: iscsi State: ready ... LUN information: LUN: 0 Type: controller SCSI ID: IET 00010000 SCSI SN: beaf10 Size: 0 MB, Block size: 1 Online: Yes Removable media: No Prevent removal: No Readonly: No Backing store type: null Backing store path: None Backing store flags: LUN: 1 Type: disk SCSI ID: IET 00010001 SCSI SN: beaf11 Size: 2097 MB, Block size: 512 Online: Yes Removable media: No Prevent removal: No Readonly: No Backing store type: rdwr Backing store path: /iscsi.img Backing store flags: Account information: redhat ACL information: ALL 2. Prepare the iscsi initator: # vim /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP node.session.auth.username = redhat node.session.auth.password = redhat # service iscsid restart # iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 10.66.9.107 –discover 10.66.9.107:3260,1 iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2 # iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2 -p 10.66.9.107 -l Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2, portal: 10.66.9.107,3260] (multiple) Login to [iface: default, target: iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2, portal: 10.66.9.107,3260] successful. # iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2 -p 10.66.9.107 --logout Logging out of session [sid: 5, target: iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2, portal: 10.66.9.107,3260] Logout of [sid: 5, target: iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2, portal: 10.66.9.107,3260] successful. 3. Boot a guest assigned this libiscsi disk with chap authentication. e.g:/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M pc -cpu SandyBridge -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1...-drive file=iscsi://10.66.9.107:3260/iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2/0,if=none,id=drive-disk,cache=none,format=raw -iscsi user=redhat,password=redhat,id=iqn -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-disk,bus=scsi1.0,id=iscsi-disk Results: after step 3, qemu will quit with following message: qemu-kvm: -drive file=iscsi://10.66.9.107:3260/iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2/0,if=none,id=drive-disk,cache=none,format=raw: iSCSI: Failed to connect to LUN : iscsi_service failed with : iscsi login reply failed qemu-kvm: -drive file=iscsi://10.66.9.107:3260/iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2/0,if=none,id=drive-disk,cache=none,format=raw: could not open disk image iscsi://10.66.9.107:3260/iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2/0: Could not open '�0��~': Invalid argument /etc/qemu-ifdown: could not launch network script
Verified this issue with the same steps as comment #12 on libiscsi-1.9.0-6.el7.x86_64. It did not meet 'Could not open '�0��~': Invalid argument' any more, but it hit anther two new issue, i has separated them to new bug 1062840 and bug 1062841. host info: 3.10.0-76.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.5.3-45.el7.x86_64 libiscsi-1.9.0-6.el7.x86_64 guest info: 3.10.0-76.el7.x86_64 Base on above, this issue has been fixed correctly, set this bug to VERIFIED status, please correctly me if any mistakes.
