Problem
Bugzilla: bsc#1231385
In the "iSCSI initiator" dialog, the offload card was not displayed correctly. Instead of bnx2i, the dialog showed "default (TCP)". I'm not sure what would have happened if I hadn't changed this to bnx2i.
In the "iBFT" dialog, the bnx2i transport was displayed correctly.
Solution
The selection of the offload card is relevant just in case we wanted to do some discover using that specific interface.
When a different offload card is selected it calls the iscsi_offload.sh script and select the related iscsi_iface to be used by discovery commands.
But the point is that the configuration is already done during in the initialization, so, doing it on selection doesn’t change anything at all.
What is even more important, the login and configuration most of the time is done automatically by firmware and the iscsi_offload script just creates redundant iscsi iface files… therefore, after some discussion it has been decided we could get rid of the script relying on the
iscsiadm -m fw -landiscsiadm -m discovery -tfw calls.Out of the scope (to improve in the future)
During the review and testing we found that there are some behavior / bugs that could be addressed but not as part of this bug:
