Hi Robert,

What distro and version of targetcli are you using? You should at least be seeing iscsi and loopback as possible fabrics.

Also, what do you see for /sys/class/fc_host/host*/port_name ?

What can I do when I don’t have any fabric modules listed? I’m trying to use qla2xxx. I installed Kernel 3.7 with the QLogic TCM drivers.

I have created /etc/modprobe.d/qla2xxx.conf:
options qla2xxx qlini_mode=”disabled”

mkinitrd -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
reboot
cat /sys/module/qla2xxx/parameters/qlini_mode:
disabled

When I run targetcli, I don’t see any modules at startup and no modules with ls.

My saveconfig.json looks like:
{
“fabric_modules”: [],
“storage_objects”: [],
“targets”: []
}

Any ideas?

Comment on tgtd -> LIO kernel target in RHEL 7 by bschulz

Great, thanks! I have Qlogic HBAs and LSI HBAs today so the lack of Emulex support isn’t an issue right now anyway (not sure why I thought they were supported though).

I started using Fedora 18 Beta last night for some evaluation. I’m having problems with creating qla2xxx targets through targetcli though (and I did set the qla2xxx module to run in target mode, correct modules loaded, etc.). Problem with running on a Fedora Beta is I’m not sure what is broken and what I’m just doing incorrectly. I’ll try Fedora 17 with the newer 3.6.x kernel over the weekend and see if targetcli will work with the qla2xxx support there…

First I’d recommend using Fedora 17 instead of RHEL 6 to evaluate LIO. It should require a lot less fighting

AFAIK LIO in the upstream kernel supports Qlogic HBAs. I don’t recall seeing Emulex support yet. The plan for RHEL 7 is to support all fabrics LIO supports except usb-gadget.

Any clue what support for “other protocols” is being considered? According to their wiki, the framework should support fibre channel targets on Qlogic and Emulex HBAs in current kernel versions. I’m still fighting through 3.6.x kernel and targetcli git builds to verify this on Top of RHEL 6, but it would be nice to know if the packages will support our needs out of the box with RHEL 7.

Fixed it up to make a little clearer. Thanks!
