Hello all--I'm trying to troubleshoot an iSCSI boot from a UCS managed server. The UCSM, I believe, is telling me that it can reach the storage array, but the storage array is telling me that the server is not online. Right now, I'm stuck in the server OS's installation wizard bc the server can't find the iSCSI node.
adapter 1/1/1 (mcp):1# iscsi_get_config
vnic iSCSI Configuration:
----------------------------
vnic_id: 13
host_id: 0
link_state: Up
Initiator Cfg:
initiator_state: ISCSI_INITIATOR_READY
initiator_error_code: ISCSI_BOOT_NIC_NO_ERROR
vlan: 0
dhcp status: false
IQN: iqn.1966-09.com.cisco.ucs:myucs01:0
IP Addr: 172.25.253.119
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 172.25.253.1
Target Cfg:
Target Idx: 0

Prev State: ISCSI_TARGET_DISABLED
Target Error: ISCSI_TARGET_NO_ERROR
IQN: iqn.1999-02.com.nexsan:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
IP Addr: 172.25.253.100
Port: 3260
Boot Lun: 0
Ping Stats: Success (12.599ms)
Session Info:
session_id: 0
host_number: 0
bus_number: 0
target_id: 0
I've double and triple checked that my initiator and target IQNs and IP addresses are right. The iSCSI VLAN is native on the iSCSI-vnic, and the upstream switch can ping the storage array.
Any suggestions on what all else I need to explore to get this thing working would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! MM
