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 Vesselin Kolev 2010-05-06 17:19:57 UTC 
Description of problem:

When starting tgtd, the following error is logged in syslog (/var/log/messages):

tgtd: libibverbs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - iser transport not used

The solution is either to build RPM package with dependence "Requires: libibverbs-devel" or to redesign libibverbs in the way to make symlink:

/usr/lib/libibverbs.so -> /usr/lib/libibverbs.so.1


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

0.9.11-1.20091205snap.el6

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Make some configuration in /etc/tgt/targets.conf
2. Start service (tgtd daemon):

# service tgtd start

  
Actual results:

Daemon starts, but error is logged in syslog.

Expected results:

Clean start with no errors of this kind.

This error is fine if you are not using iser. If you are using iser then you should install libibverbs.

Are you trying to use iser or do you have libibverbs and it is not working?
Comment 3 Vesselin Kolev 2010-05-06 18:23:34 UTC 
Yes, I'm trying to use iser. But I have libibverbs installed:

[vesso@mahadeva ~]$ rpm -ql libibverbs
/etc/libibverbs.d
/usr/lib/libibverbs.so.1
/usr/lib/libibverbs.so.1.0.0
/usr/share/doc/libibverbs-1.1.3
/usr/share/doc/libibverbs-1.1.3/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/libibverbs-1.1.3/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/libibverbs-1.1.3/ChangeLog
/usr/share/doc/libibverbs-1.1.3/README

The described problem is solved by installing libibverbs-devel (provides /usr/lib/libibverbs.so):

[vesso@mahadeva ~]$ rpm -ql libibverbs-devel
...
/usr/lib/libibverbs.so
...

Ah I see what you are saying.

I did not want to add the requires to scsi-target-utils rpm because it would force users of just iscsi to bring in all the ib stuff.

I am trying to break out the iser code and make it lib and add it to a separate rpm which would have the required requires. So you could do

// install core target
yum install scsi-target-utils
// install iser handler for target
yum install scsi-target-iser-utils

And that would bring in and install everything needed.
Comment 6 Vesselin Kolev 2010-05-06 19:06:01 UTC 
I agree with You! In such case splitting of the package is the only way.

Thank You a lot!!!
Comment 7 Mike Christie 2010-05-06 19:19:51 UTC 
Ok. It is too close to RHEL 6 release time to do this, so I am putting this up for RHEL 6.1 and adding a devel ack. You can track the progress in this bugzilla. Thanks for the bug report!

*** Bug 589803 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 10 Mike Christie 2011-02-01 08:52:43 UTC 
This is not getting done for 6.1, because upstream just completed a completely new iser target for stgt.
Comment 13 Andy Grover 2011-12-20 21:19:06 UTC 
implemented in rawhide, but we may or may not want to backport this to rhel6.
Comment 18 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:07:13 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 19 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:54:11 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 20 Andy Grover 2012-08-08 19:04:37 UTC 
atm scsi-target-utils depends on ib stuff. I don't think it's worth diverging from upstream just to eliminate dependencies on two small packages. closing wontfix.
