Troubleshooting the iSCSI Driver

691

The following POST error message
appears:
Initiator iSCSI Name mismatch,
Please use iSCSISelect to set a single
name for all controllers.
Press <Ctrl><S> to enter iSCSISelect.
(Reboot required)

In the iSCSI BIOS, the Emulex iSCSI initiator name may be
different if more than one OneConnect UCNAs are in the system.
This message appears if the iSCSI initiator name is different on
multiple controllers. You must enter iSCSISelect and save a new
initiator name on the first iSCSISelect menu window so that the
iSCSI initiator name on all controllers match. All logins from the
multiple controllers will use the new name. See the Emulex Boot
for NIC, iSCSI, FCoE, and RoCE Protocols User Manual
for more
information.

When an iscsicli logouttarget
command is issued back-to-back in a
script, event 12 errors from the
PlugPlayManager are seen in the
Windows Event Viewer. The error
message is similar to this string:

The device 'SE ISCSI 00 SCSI

Disk Device'(SCSI\Disk&Ven_

SE_ISCSI&Prod_00&Rev_3.64\5

&17659873&2&020000)

disappeared from the system

without first being prepared

for removal.

This behavior is not specific to the OneConnect UCNA.

On a system running Windows Server
2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2,
the iSCSI driver fails to load after
many iterations of enable/disable
from Device Manager.
Because the system failed to allocate
contiguous uncached extension
memory, the iSCSI driver failed to
load, and an attention icon is
displayed next to the OneConnect
iSCSI device. The Device Status
shows “This device cannot start.
(Code 10)”, and an Event 11 error is
logged in the Windows system event
log for the iSCSI driver with
0x31840006 in the 5th DWORD.

There is no workaround for this issue.

When an iSCSI UCNA is used to log in
to an iSCSI target and the LUN
configuration on the target is
changed, neither the UCNA nor the
WMI GUI see the updated LUN
configuration.

If an iSCSI target provides an asynchronous event notification to
the UCNA when its logical unit inventory has changed, the iSCSI
driver initiates a bus rescan and the LUNs are updated
dynamically. However, if an iSCSI target does not provide an
asynchronous event notification, the LUN list is not updated
dynamically. Perform a manual rescan in Disk Management.
