Teaming with
Channel Bonding
With the Linux drivers, you can team adapters together using the bonding
kernel module and a channel bonding interface. For more information, see
the Channel Bonding information in your operating system documentation.
Statistics You can view detailed statistics and configuration information using the
ethtool utility. See the ethtool man page for more information.
Linux iSCSI
Offload
This section describes how to install and run Linux iSCSI applications. The
following recommendations apply to offloading Linux iSCSI programs:
Not all Broadcom NetXtreme II adapters support iSCSI offload.
The iSCSI session will not recover after a hot remove and hot plug.
The iSCSI driver/firmware will not offload iSCSI connections onto a
jumbo frame-enabled CNIC device.
For MPIO to work properly, iSCSI nopout should be enabled on each
iSCSI session. Refer to open-iscsi documentation for procedures on
setting up noop_out_interval and noop_out_timeout values.
In the scenario where multiple CNIC devices are in the system and the
system is booted via Broadcom's iSCSI boot solution, ensure that the
iscsi node under /etc/iscsi/nodes for the boot target is bound to the
NIC that is used for booting.
