Description Bruno Goncalves 2012-10-19 13:05:31 UTC

Description of problem:
The newer version of iscsi-initiator-utils is not able to discovery target portals.

It works fine with: iscsi-initiator-utils.x86_64 0:6.2.0.872-41.el6


iscsiadm -m discovery -I bnx2i.00:10:18:88:e7:ff -I bnx2i.00:10:18:88:e7:fd -p na3170b.lab.bos.redhat.com -t st

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iscsi-initiator-utils 6.2.0.873-1.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Configure the interfaces to use DHCP
iscsiadm -m iface -I bnx2i.00:10:18:88:e7:ff -o update -n iface.ipaddress -v 0.0.0.0
bnx2i.00:10:18:88:e7:ff updated.
iscsiadm -m iface -I bnx2i.00:10:18:88:e7:fd -o update -n iface.ipaddress -v 0.0.0.0
bnx2i.00:10:18:88:e7:fd updated.

2. Try to discovery portal
iscsiadm -m discovery -I bnx2i.00:10:18:88:e7:ff -I bnx2i.00:10:18:88:e7:fd -p na3170b.lab.bos.redhat.com -t st
3.
  
Actual results:
Discovery fails

Expected results:

iscsiadm -m discovery -I bnx2i.00:10:18:88:e7:ff -I bnx2i.00:10:18:88:e7:fd -p na3170b.lab.bos.redhat.com -t st

This was caused by an IPv4 DHCP bug inside the iscsiuio-0.7.4.3 patchset.  The fix was already uploaded as part of a bigger update from iscsiuio-0.7.4.3 to iscsiuio-0.7.6.1.

Comment 4 edwardn 2012-10-22 22:38:04 UTC

Verified discovery and login over DHCP using iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.873-2.el6.x86_64.rpm.  873-1 had problems.

Comment 5 Bruno Goncalves 2012-10-24 06:57:23 UTC

Verified problem has been fixed on iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.873-2.el6.x86_64
