Potential problems, causes and solutions
Problem:
Does not appear to create an iSCSI offloaded connection when configured for offload.
Possible cause:
The initiator needs to be restarted after the transport name is changed for offload, and the bnx2i driver
needs to be reloaded so that the configuration changes are realized. Both of these events occur when hp-
pbl is restarted.
Possible solution:
Run the following command to restart hp-pbl:
/opt/hp/hp-pbl restart
Problem:
Does not appear to create an iSCSI offloaded connection when configured for offload and
/var/log/messages lists the following information:
bnx2i: conn bind, ep=0x... ($ROUTE_HBA) does not belong to hba
$USER_CHOSEN_HBA
Possible cause:
A potential problem with the link layer address to IP address mapping occurs when a server with multiple
network cards is connected to the same network segment. This issue is commonly known as the Arp Flux
Problem.
Possible solution:
Set up the network so that network cards are on separate network segments or broadcast domains.
