Run the
bnx2id
daemon before attempting to create iSCSI connections. The driver will not be able to establish connections
to the iSCSI target without the daemon's assistance.
bnx2id
The bnx2id daemon requires
mknod
and
sh
shell, which are standard on any regular server. For iSCSI boot using
NetXtreme II offload support, binaries for
mknod
and
sh
need to be bundled into initrd image.

Install and run the open-iscsi programs,

rpm -e iscsi-initiator-utils
SLES10 SP1
rpm -e open-iscsi
2.
Install the source RPM package.
rpm -ivh <open-iscsi-package-name>.src.rpm
3.
CD to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel.
cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}
rpm -bb SPECS/<open-iscsi-package-name>.spec
or
rpmbuild -bb SPECS/<open-iscsi-package-name>.spec (for RPM version 4.x.x)
Note that the RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.
4.
Install the newly built package.
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.
