RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Bruno Goncalves 2014-01-17 14:51:36 UTC

Description of problem:
Installing RHEL-7 on a iSCSI boot server with 2 iSCSI ports, anaconda establishes 4 sessions while on regular boot only 2 sessions are established.

I just want to know if this is right or how many sessions we should expect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-19.31.48-1
iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.873-17.el7

Unless this is blocking installation on the system in question, this is not a bug.

Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2014-01-17 21:36:40 UTC

Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.
You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.

Comment 9 Radek Vykydal 2014-01-20 09:00:15 UTC

It was my who asked Bruno to file the bug when he consulted the issue with me. I wasn't planning to work on it until we see any problems with installation caused by it. Anyway, the bz being closed, for me it is still useful to have it filed for the reference.

Comment 10 Dave Cantrell 2014-01-20 15:41:16 UTC

I'll reopen it, but move it to the 7.1 list.  This bug ended up in the 7.0 backlog report which is why I closed it.  Apologies.

Comment 12 Radek Vykydal 2015-01-23 09:18:55 UTC

Bruno, could you check if this is still an issue with latest RHEL 7.1 composes and if so, attach usual log files? We have added some more debug logging in 7.1 that can be helpful. Thank you.

Comment 13 Bruno Goncalves 2015-01-23 10:24:21 UTC

It is still the same, note that both ports connect to both portals. This is probably intended and it wouldn't be a bug.

The problem might be on regular boot where it only connects to 2 sessions.

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.
