Binding the iSCSI target Changing the transport binding of the iSCSI node By default the open-iscsi daemon connects to discovered targets using the software initiator with transport name = tcp. To offload iSCSI connections, you must change the transport binding of the iSCSI node by completing the following steps. 1. Discover targets at a specified IP address using the following command: # iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 2. Obtain the from step 1 and bind the transport name with the following command: # iscsiadm --mode node --targetname --portal \ --op=update --name=node.transport_name -value= Please note that the [:port] argument is not needed for IPv6 addresses. Execute the following command to obtain the iSCSI transport name binding: # dmesg | grep "bnx2i: netif" The following is a sample output of a system with 2 NetXtreme II devices: bnx2i: netif=eth1, iscsi=bcm570x-05000 bnx2i: netif=eth0, iscsi=bcm570x-03000 Binding the iSCSI target 17
