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 of problem:
iscsid does not pass the gateway info to iscsiuio. Due to this during the target relogin phase, iscsiuio is not able to send the ARP using the gateway and thus fails to discover the target, causing OS boot failure. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always in the router configurations with initiator and target in different networks

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the iSCSI initiator and target in different networks with gateway information populated in iSCSI iface 
2. Perform RHEL 7.4 OS installation over offload iSCSI. 
3. The OS installation is successful, but the first boot fails.

Actual results:
The first boot after OS installation fails.

Expected results:
The first boot after OS installation should succeed.
