[Bug 575240] Re: iscsid does not start automatically having iscsi root

[Jonathan McCune]

In attempting to debug this earlier, I had set 'node.startup =
automatic' in /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf, so that during discovery
/etc/iscsi/nodes/* were all set to automatically start.  This is
completely unrelated to the main problem identified by this bug; I just
wanted to make that explicit, since I mentioned the issue in comment #8.

Thanks,
-Jon

Title:
  iscsid does not start automatically having iscsi root

Status in “open-iscsi” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: open-iscsi

  Affected package: open-iscsi

     # apt-cache policy open-iscsi
     open-iscsi:
       Installed: 2.0.871-0ubuntu4
       Candidate: 2.0.871-0ubuntu4
       Version table:
      *** 2.0.871-0ubuntu4 0
             500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
             100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Fresh install of Ubuntu Server 10.04 (official release, no RC).
  root filesystem in iSCSI.
  /boot in a separate filesystem.
  swap in a dedicated partition (in iSCSI as well).

  Tested on both real and virtual machines.

  Boot process seems to be OK.
  root filesystem is correctly mounted.
  "iscsiadm -m session" shows connection to the target:

     # iscsiadm -m session
     tcp: [1] 192.168.21.128:3260,2 iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:55ea9bbb-38e6-4161-ae96-80b1b0aa08fa

  But increasing debug level, we can see we are getting an 111 error
  when contacting iscsid (111 = connection refused):

     # iscsiadm -m session -P1
     Target: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:55ea9bbb-38e6-4161-ae96-80b1b0aa08fa

                     iSCSI Session State: LOGGED_IN

  The problem is that iscsid is not running:

     # /etc/init.d/open-iscsi status
      * iscsid is not running

     # ps -efa | grep -i iscsi
     root       232     2  0 17:15 ?        00:00:00 [iscsi_eh]
     root       238     2  0 17:15 ?        00:00:00 [iscsi_q_2]
     root       851   782  0 17:32 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i iscsi

  open-iscsi SysV init scripts are installed (according to
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/open-iscsi.postinst):

     # find /etc/rc*.d -iname "*iscsi*"
     /etc/rc0.d/S41open-iscsi
     /etc/rc1.d/S41open-iscsi
     /etc/rc6.d/S41open-iscsi
     /etc/rcS.d/S25open-iscsi

  iscsid must be running in order to handle connection errors to the
  iSCSI target, among many other things.
