iSCSI Driver Log Messages
Retrieving iSCSI Driver Error Log Messages
Note: These error log messages are specific to the proprietary be2iscsi driver.
For Linux systems, the iSCSI driver generates log messages to the /var/log/messages
file. The log file is an ASCII text file and can be viewed and searched with your
preferred text editor.
To search the log file for error messages, at the command prompt type:
# cd /var/log
# vim messages
iSCSI Driver Error Log Messages and their Descriptions
All iSCSI driver error log messages are preceded by a prefix of “scsiX:” (if the SCSI host
controller can be determined, with “X” being a number representing the Linux SCSI
host controller) and “OneConnect iSCSI Driver:”, for example:
scsi2: OneConnect iSCSI Driver: Rejected IOCTL since buffer size
limit exceeded
scsi2: OneConnect iSCSI Driver: Subsystem / Opcode = 0x12345678 /
0x11223344
scsi2: OneConnect iSCSI Driver: Payload Length = 0x1000
