What target is this with?

Could you send the /var/log/messages?

And could you take a wireshark/tcpdump trace?

And could you send the output of

iscsiadm -m node -T your-target -p ip

and the output of

iscsiadm -m session -P 3

when you have reconnected the cable and when the initiator is not able to reconnect.

And could you send the outpout of ifconfig after you have reconnected the cable?

yes,i take a tcpdump trace :tcpdump -i ethx -vvv -s 1024 -w a.cap.And use 

wireshark to analyse the "a.cap". I see when the cable restore connection the 

initiator send the command logoff (close session). Normally , the initiator 

should be send login command again to automatic recovery reconnecting .

After i unplug the cable , several seconds later ,i plug the cable ,and i can 

ping succeeful the target ip .

Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.
               
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 5 Mike Christie 2012-03-22 06:49:53 UTC
Is this still a problem for you?

You never sent the iscsiadm outpout and /var/log/messsages I asked for.
