Hal does not see iSCSI devices
Last modified: 2013-03-05 22:54:42 EST
Description of problem: Now that anaconda relies on HAL for disks enumeration, it has become important for hal to see the drives accessed via iSCSI. It is not the case now. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.24-9.fc9.i686 hal-0.5.10-4.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up a scsi target (netbsd-iscsi or scsi-initiator-utils packages might come handy, or kernel-mode iscsitarget from livna) 2. Discover the target with iscsiadm -m discovery -m st -p localhost 3. Log in with iscsiadm -m node --login 4.

I really can not tell if this is hal or kernel issue. Thanks!
Can't have this in HAL; anaconda need to do something different.
OK, Jeremy explained exactly what is needed. I'll add this Monday. Thanks.
May I ask... any progress on this?
Pending; was bogged down with other important stuff. Already talked to pjones to get access to iSCSI targets. Hoping to look at it next week.
This is now done. http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=commitdiff;h=db415dc5b771added0451f518ba3b714f004113e udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_350060160b8e02a0e50060160b8e 02a0e' block.device = '/dev/sdb' (string) block.is_volume = false (bool) block.major = 8 (0x8) (int) block.minor = 16 (0x10) (int) block.storage_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_350060160b8e02a0e50060160b8e02a0e' (string) info.capabilities = {'storage', 'block'} (string list) info.category = 'storage' (string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0' (string) info.product = 'LUNZ' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_350060160b8e02a0e50060160b8e02a0e' (string) info.vendor = 'DGC' (string) linux.hotplug_type = 3 (0x3) (int) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/host4/session2/target4:0:0/4:0:0:0/block/sdb' (string) storage.automount_enabled_hint = true (bool) storage.bus = 'scsi' (string) storage.drive_type = 'disk' (string) storage.firmware_version = '0219' (string) storage.hotpluggable = false (bool) storage.lun = 0 (0x0) (int) storage.media_check_enabled = false (bool) storage.model = 'LUNZ' (string) storage.no_partitions_hint = false (bool) storage.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string) storage.partitioning_scheme = 'none' (string) storage.removable = false (bool) storage.removable.media_available = true (bool) storage.removable.media_size = 0 (0x0) (uint64) storage.requires_eject = false (bool) storage.serial = '350060160b8e02a0e50060160b8e02a0e' (string) storage.size = 0 (0x0) (uint64) storage.vendor = 'DGC' (string)
