4. Install the newly built package by entering:
rpm -ivh RPMS/<arch>/<open-iscsi-package-
name>.<arch>.rpm
where <arch> is the machine architecture such as i386.
rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/<open-iscsi-package-
name>.i386.rpm
5. Start the daemon by entering:
iscsid
Binding iSCSI Target to Broadcom NX2 iSCSI Transport Name
By default, the open-iscsi daemon connects to discovered targets using
software initiator (transport name = 'tcp'). If you want to offload an iSCSI
connection onto CNIC device should explicitly change the transport
binding of the iSCSI node. This can be done using iscsiadm cli utility as
follows:
iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.2004-
06.com.broadcom:tg1 \
--portal 192.168.1.100 --op=update \
--name=node.transport_name --
value=${XPORT_NAME}
where XPORT_NAME=bcm570x-xxyyzz
xx - pci bus number of the NX2 device
yy - pci device number of the NX2 device
zz - pci function number of the NX2 device
Network interface to iscsi transport name binding can be obtained by
executing:
dmesg | grep "bnx2i: netif"
Sample output in a system with two NetXtreme II devices:
bnx2i: netif=eth1, iscsi=bcm570x-050000
bnx2i: netif=eth0, iscsi=bcm570x-030000
