Binding the iSCSI target

Changing the transport binding of the iSCSI node

By default the open-iscsi daemon connects to discovered targets using the software initiator with transport
name = tcp.
To offload iSCSI connections, you must change the transport binding of the iSCSI node by completing the

following steps.

1.

Discover targets at a specified IP address using the following command:
# iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal

2.

Obtain the from step 1 and bind the transport name with the following command:
# iscsiadm --mode node --targetname --portal

\ --op=update --name=node.transport_name --

value=
Please note that the [:port] argument is not needed for IPv6 addresses.
Execute the following command to obtain the iSCSI transport name binding:
# dmesg | grep "bnx2i: netif"
The following is a sample output of a system with 2 NetXtreme II devices:
bnx2i: netif=eth1, iscsi=bcm570x-05000

bnx2i: netif=eth0, iscsi=bcm570x-03000
