Description Shyam Iyer 2010-05-14 17:51:30 UTC
Description of problem:
Install RHEL5.5 on PER210 and find that bnx2i(broadcom iscsi offload driver) does not recognize the onboard BCM 5716 nic port that has the iscsi offload functionality.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL5.5.
2.6.18-194.el5
iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.871-0.16.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install RHEL5.5 
2.yum install iscsi-initiator-utils
3.iscsiadm -m iface output
  
Actual results:
No iface file created
device not recognized by bnx2i

Expected results:
1) bnx2i should recognize the device
2) iscsiadm -m iface should show a default iface configuration.

Hello Shyam,

BCM5716 is not an iSCSI offload capable device.  It is distributed as a L2 only nic.

Eddie
