Hello all.

I just added an MD3800i (ISCSI) to my cluster.
I configured it to not require authentication, to rule out possible problems.
The first node sees it and can access the LUN, but the other two nodes seems to be unable to see the LUN.

Is there something I could be missing? MD38xx admin software seems doesn't allow for definition of ACLs (like the host groups in MD32xx), but maybe I'm overlooking something?

Tks.
 
Here's what I find in dmesg after a reboot:

The sessions seems OK:

The message I got from the node where it's working is a bit different and actually sees the LUN:

(actually it has been connected when there was only one cable to the MD3800 hence the single session, but that shouldn't impact LUN's visibility).

Wondering what those "unowned" means...
