I have sparse knowledge of iSCSI and hence I fear I'm missing the obvious.
I have set up a ZFS unit and I would like to export some LUNs.
The SCST daemon is listening properly on port 3260 and the scstadmin says the config is OK. Whenever I try to run iscsiadm to check what the server show to the world iscsiadm doesn't send out anything
root@brunas:/# iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal a.b.c.d --discover
iscsiadm: Login response timeout. Waited 30 seconds and did not get reponse PDU.
iscsiadm: discovery login to a.b.c.d failed, giving up 2
iscsiadm: Could not perform SendTargets discovery: encountered non-retryable iSCSI login failure
I took captures with tcpdump and iscsiadm is not sending out any single packet.
The only thing is that I'm sourcing the queries from the same host that runs the server, I do use an IP of an ethernet interface. Does the iscsiadm have to be run from a different host than the iSCSI server (I would be surprised) ?
Is there anyone who may give me a clue please?
