Package: open-iscsi Version: 2.0.873-3ubuntu13 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
It seems that 'iscsi_auto' should invoke 'iscsistart --fwparam_network' in addition to -b. The --fwparam_network will set up networking that was declared in iBFT. There is some overlap here with the 'ip=' kernel command line parameter, and it is possible that the two could conflict. For example, if the kernel command line had ip=192.168.1.2::192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0:myhostname:eth0 And iBFT was configured such that $ cat /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/ip-addr 192.168.1.3 $ cat /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/gateway 192.168.1.1 $ cat /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/subnet-mask 255.255.255.0 If we were to invoke 'iscsistart --fwparam_network' after having done configure_networking, then the iscsi parameters would be in affect. Its may be arguable that this is simply misconfiguration of the ip= parameter. Also of note, /run/net-<device>.conf will not be written if iscsistart configures the networking as opposed to 'ipconfig' doing it. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers wily-updates APT policy: (500, 'wily-updates'), (500, 'wily-security'), (500, 'wily') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-16-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages open-iscsi depends on: ii libc6 2.21-0ubuntu4 ii udev 225-1ubuntu9 open-iscsi recommends no packages. open-iscsi suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
