Troubleshooting 36

•

The target service is not running on the target server

•

Target's firmware is outdated. Update to the latest firmware version

Target login problems

Symptoms:
The iSCSI initiator is able to connect to the target but is unable to log in successfully.
Possible causes:

•

The initiator is not configured with the right target name

•

The initiator is not configured with the right target IP address

•

The initiator is not configured with the right initiator name

•

The initiator and target are not configured for the same authentication method

•

The initiator and target are using CHAP or Mutual CHAP authentication so they may not be
configured with matching user name and secret(s)

•

If the target implements some form of Access Control Lists (ACL), the target may not be configured to

allow it on the initiator

LUN access problems

Symptoms:
The initiator is able to connect to and log in to the target, but the system doesn't see a disk present (it

attempts to boot from an internal disk or PXE).
Possible causes:

•

The initiator is not configured with the correct LUN from which to boot (Some targets start numbering
at 1 instead of 0)

•

The target is not configured to allow access to the specified LUN by the initiator

OS problems

Symptoms:
The initiator is able to connect to and log in to the target and the system sees the disk, but you are unable

to install the OS.
Possible causes:

•

There are multiple NC37xx adapters enabled in the system

•

The drivers are not being loaded in the right order during installation

•

The target disk provided is not large enough

•

The initiator is not configured with the correct LUN from which to boot (some targets start numbering
data devices at 1, not 0)

•

The target is not configured to allow access to the specified LUN by the initiator
