Description Nitin Chandna 2005-07-28 12:40:13 UTC
Description of problem:
Configured one JBOD and started the initiator on the host.
The device got discovered fine.
Now configured another JBOD on the iscsi target (MDS)
Configured all access details to be accessed by the iscsi host.
Still the device is not discovered by the host.

iSCSI Virtual Target Configuration: (1st Target got discovered - * indicates
this whereas 2nd target did not get discovered)

target: iqn.2004-04.com.cisco.cnitin-linux26-jbod-572d
  * Port WWN 22:00:00:04:cf:8c:57:2d
    Configured node
    No. of advertised interface: 1
      GigabitEthernet 2/1
    No. of initiators permitted: 2
      initiator 10.1.1.24/32 is permitted
      initiator 10.1.2.24/32 is permitted
    all initiator permit is disabled
    trespass support is  disabled
    revert to primary support is  disabled

target: iqn.2004-04.com.cisco.cnitin-linux26-jbod-567c

    Configured node
    No. of advertised interface: 1
      GigabitEthernet 2/1
    No. of initiators permitted: 1

/etc/iscsi.conf
DiscoveryAddress=10.1.1.80

GigE Interface 2/1 has the above IP address configured.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.20-8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Same as above mentioned in the description.
1. Configured first target and that got discovered on a particular discovery
address.
2. Another target was configured on the same portal on the iscsi target.
3. Could not see any messages with respect to being notified about the new
target available to the host.
  
Actual results:
The newly added target was not visible to the host unless and until the driver
was restarted/reloaded

Expected results:
The driver should have been notified about the new target configured by the
iscsi target and host should have shown this device.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Mike Christie 2005-07-28 15:35:33 UTC
Is the new configuration supposed to be detected by the long lived discovery
session and sendtargets or some async event coming through the long lived
disocvery session. Since I cannot read about your discovery session AENs in the
RFC I am never completely sure which.

Comment 2 Smitha Narayanaswamy 2005-09-05 11:14:57 UTC
Async Event. There is no async event coming up from the target side. This is not
a bug in the driver.
