8.77. iscsi-initiator-utils


Updated iscsi-initiator-utils packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The iscsi-initiator-utils packages provide the server daemon for the iSCSI protocol, as well as utilities used to manage the daemon. iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) is a protocol for distributed disk access using SCSI commands sent over Internet Protocol networks.

Note

The iscsi-initiator-utils packages have been upgraded to upstream version 6.2.0.873, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#916007)

Bug Fixes

BZ#884427
Previously, database errors could occur if multiple node records in different formats were created for the same iSCSI target portal. Consequently, depending on the file system dependent return order of the readdir syscall, an error occasionally occurred causing an update operation to fail. To fix this bug, multiple node records in different formats have been prevented from existing simultaneously and detected at record creation time. Duplicate node entries no longer exist in the iSCSI database, and updates to records do not result in database errors.
BZ#983553
Prior to this update, a single unreachable target could previously block rescans of others. Consequently, the iscsiadm utility could halt in the D state and the rest of the targets could remain unscanned. To fix this bug, iscsiadm has been made terminable and all the targets have been updated. Now, functioning sessions will be rescanned properly without long delays.
BZ#1001705
When VDMS (Virtual Desktop Server Manager) attempted to add a new record to the iSCSI database, it failed with the following error:
iscsiadm: Error while adding record: no available memory.
Consequently, due to this error, the host became non-operational when connecting to storage. An upstream patch has been applied and the /var/lib/iscsi file is now successfully attached.

Enhancements

BZ#831003
For the bnx2i hardware and potentially other offloading solutions (complementary network technologies for delivering data originally targeted for cellular networks), the iscsistart tool for passing along the VLAN tag from iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) to iface_rec (iscsi iface record name) has been implemented to this package.
BZ#917600
With this update, support for managing Flash nodes from the open-iscsi utility has been added to this package.
Users of iscsi-initiator-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
