iSCSI Problem using Microsoft iSCSI Initiator v 2.0x
I am trying to connect to a set of SATA drives on a machine running vxWorks v 6.2 with the WIND kernel v 2.8. Each drive is formatted using dosFs which is a FAT32 compatible file system. The drives are supposed to be accessible via iSCSI and the target software used is Open-iSCSI.
The machine I am using to connect to the drives is running Windows XP SP2 running the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator v2.08 Checked build. I can successfully discover the target portal and even see the target. I successfully login to the target, but I am not seeing any devices in the devices list, the device manager, or in the disk manager utility.
I ran Wireshark (ethereal) concurrently with running all of the iSCSI commands. The packets sent when I logged in to the target were the following:
- The login command sequence, consisting of four packets in total
- SCSI Command: Report LUNs
- Report LUNs Response Data (LUN List Length: 32, LUN: 0)
- Report LUNs: Select All LUNs
- Report LUNs Response Data (LUN List Length: 32, LUN: 0, LUN: 1, LUN: 2, LUN: 3)
- SCSI Command: Inquiry (LUN 0)
- Data In LUN: 0x00
- SCSI Command: Inquiry (LUN 1)
- Data In LUN: 0x01
- SCSI Command: Inquiry (LUN 2)
- Data In LUN: 0x02
- SCSI Command: Inquiry (LUN 3)
- Data In LUN: 0x03
For each of the "Data In LUN: 0x0X" packets, there is an error in Wireshark, "SCSI Transfer limited due to allocation_length too small: SCSI truncated". I am also seeing Peripheral: 0x7f, Qualifier: Device type is not supported by server and Device Type: unknown or no device type.
I have tried using various Initiators, including MS iSCSI Initiators 1.06, 2.03, 2.07, 2.08, and Starport iSCSI initiator. I can successfully connect to and mount emulated drives on a Windows machine created using Starwind iSCSI Target.
If you have any ideas or insight, I would appreciate your input.
