think that a problem existed with their iSCSI configuration. The iSCSI tools no longer present this
type of error to users and therefore do not create this potential misunderstanding. Note that certain
combinations of new tools with old kernels might still present a related "-22" error. (

• the iSCSI protocol allows targets to redirect initiators during the login phase. Previously, the code
used by the iscsi initiator to parse IPv6 addresses contained faulty logic that caused it to fail to
recognize IPv6 addresses as valid when redirected. As a consequence, when operating in an IPv6
environment, the initiator could not log into targets that use the login redirect feature, such as Dell
EqualLogic targets. The initiator now parses IPv6 addresses correctly, enabling use of these targets
in IPv6 environments. (

• previously, the cxgb3i driver for Chelsio host bus adapters (HBAs) was not listed in the iscsi init
script. Therefore, iscsi would not load this driver and therefore could not use the Chelsio HBAs that
need this driver. The cxgb3i driver is now included in the iscsi init script, which enables the use of
these devices. (
BZ#505958

• the iscsi code contained a bad cast of a data structure. This would lead to a segmentation fault while
logging in or out of an iSCSI target. With the logic now corrected, these segmentation faults do not
occur. (
BZ#508782
603
)
• iscsiadm obtains its information about the boot environment from the iSCSI boot firmware table
(IBFT). However, this information does not include the target portal group tag (TPGT) associated
with the boot target. Iscsiadm would assume that the relevant TPGT should be "1". In cases where
this was correct, the boot process would continue as intended. In all other cases, iscsiadm would
be unable to find the target necessary for the boot to proceed. This made it impossible to automate
the installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux in environments with multiple portals on targets and
where the portal used for boot did not have TPGT=1. Iscsiadm no longer assumes a value for the
TPGT for the boot portal and instead relies on the information that it finds in the /var/lib/iscsi record.
This enables iscsiadm to find the correct target automatically, and therefore makes automated
installations possible. (

Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues.

Updated isdn4k-utils packages that resolve several issues are now available.
The isdn4k-utils packages contain a collection of utilities needed for configuring an ISDN subsystem.
These updated isdn4k-utils packages provide fixes for the following bugs:
• the init scripts for the "capi" and "isdn" programs sometimes exited with incorrect or invalid
exit statuses. These init scripts have been updated for compliance with Linux Standard Base
(LSB) guidelines. The "capi" and "isdn" programs now exit with exit status 5 (program is not
