I'm currently running into an issue where I try to configure in over 256 virtual tapes via iscsi and on the initiator I see: st 14:0:0:255: Attached scsi tape st254 st 14:0:0:255: st254: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 1 B) st 14:0:0:255: Attached scsi generic sg256 type 1 scsi: host 14 channel 0 id 0 lun16640 has a LUN larger than allowed by the host adapter scsi: host 14 channel 0 id 0 lun16641 has a LUN larger than allowed by the host adapter Any idea why I would be seeing this? The first 256 (0-255) tape devices look like they are configured into the initiator correctly, and repeating this with the target having 256 tapes appears to work. Looks like is due to the report_luns command not returning the correct data from what I can tell on the host in scsi_report_lun_scan: result = scsi_execute_req(sdev, scsi_cmd, DMA_FROM_DEVICE, lun_data, length, &sshdr, SCSI_TIMEOUT + 4 * HZ, 3, NULL); . . . /* * Scan the luns in lun_data. The entry at offset 0 is really * the header, so start at 1 and go up to and including num_luns. */ for (lunp = &lun_data[1]; lunp <= &lun_data[num_luns]; lunp++) { lun = scsilun_to_int(lunp); . . . } else if (lun > sdev->host->max_lun) { printk(KERN_WARNING "scsi: %s lun%d has a LUN larger" " than allowed by the host adapter\n", devname, lun); I poked around a bit and found a fairly stale report of an identical problem: http://old.nabble.com/-PATCH--Allow-more-than-255-LUNs-to-be-reported.-td19448136.html > > On Tue, Jul 17, 2012 at 5:25 AM, Rob Evers<revers at redhat.com> wrote: >> On 07/13/2012 07:08 PM, ronnie sahlberg wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> If you just want to create a tape drive with a tape loaded, these >>> commands should work : >>> >>> # create a blank tape >>> tgtimg --op new --device-type tape --barcode 12345 --size 100 --type >>> data --file /data/tape001.img >>> >>> >>> # create a target >>> tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode target --tid 1 -T iqn.ronnie.test >>> >>> # create a SSC LUN for with the blank tape above loaded into the device >>> tgtadm --lld iscsi --mode logicalunit --op new --tid 1 --lun 1 -b >>> /data/tape001.img --device-type=tape >>> >> I get 'tgtadm: invalid request when trying to create the LU >> >> # tgtimg --op new --device-type tape --barcode 12345 --size 100 --type data >> --file /data/tape001.img >> blk_sz: 100, next 1152, 1152 >> Sizeof(mam): 1104, sizeof(h): 48 >> # tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode target --tid 1 -T iqn.ronnie.test >> tgtadm: can't send the request to the tgt daemon, Transport endpoint is not >> connected >> >> At this, I did 'service tgtd restart' >> >> # tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode target --tid 1 -T iqn.ronnie.test >> # tgtadm --lld iscsi --mode logicalunit --op new --tid 1 --lun 1 -b >> /data/tape001.img --device-type=tape >> tgtadm: invalid request >> # >> >> # tgtimg --help >> Usage: tgtimg [OPTION] >> Linux SCSI Target Framework Image File Utility, version 1.0.24 >> >> [root at rhel-storage-03 ~]# tgtadm --help >> Usage: tgtadm [OPTION] >> Linux SCSI Target Framework Administration Utility, version 1.0.24 >> >> >> This is all after a fresh reboot. >> >> Am I still missing something? >> >> Rob >> > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in > the body of a message to majordomo at vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in the body of a message to majordomo at vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html |
