Hi All,

I have a cluster of two systems running and have two storage devices:
- One QNAP 459 Pro
- One NetApp FAS270

I have (for the luns that need to run 24h w/o interruption) an iSCSI Target on the QNAP already. Now I wanted to create another iSCSI Lun on the NetApp Filer.

I can attach it - but I don't see anything in /proc/scsi/scsi or elsewhere. Short: I can't use the NetApp LUN.

Does anyone of you have a clue what's going on here? I think the error is on my side - but I have no clue what I've messed up...

Hi,

What is the ouput for : iscsiadm -m node && iscsiadm -m session
 
Hi MrJack!

Here you are:

Note that the Qnap is functioning perfectly.... (as good as a qnap can be...)

Maybe you can shutdown the netapp session, reconnect it and see what append with dmesg
Also check the configuration on your netapp, it must like your qnap reflect the content of /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
 
Hi MrJack

This is all I get...
scsi22 : iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP

Looks a bit little...

But your Tip with /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi - that's been it!

Seems to work now!

Thanks a lot!
