iSCSI Issues
On Solaris systems, a successful login is found in the /var/adm/messages directory and should look
similar to the following example:
Mar 14 12:53:23 ca-sun1 iscsid[12745]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] discovery process for
172.22.91.223 finished, exiting
Mar 14 12:58:45 ca-sun1 iscsid[12802]: [ID 448557 daemon.notice] logged into
DiscoveryAddress 172.22.91.223:3260 isid 023d0040
Mar 14 12:58:45 ca-sun1 iscsid[12802]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] iSCSI target 2 =
iqn.com.domainname.vrrp-11.gw.21000020375aff77 at0
Mar 14 12:58:45 ca-sun1 iscsid[12809]: [ID 529321 daemon.notice] logged into target
iqn.com.domainname.vrrp-11.gw.21000020375aff77 7
Mar 14 12:58:45 ca-sun1 iscsid[12802]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] iSCSI target 3 =
iqn.com.domainname.vrrp-11.gw.21000020374baf02 at0
Mar 14 12:58:45 ca-sun1 iscsid[12810]: [ID 529321 daemon.notice] logged into target
iqn.com.domainname.vrrp-11.gw.21000020374baf02 7
Figure 20-11 shows a failed iSCSI login for the Windows 2000 driver.
Figure 20-11 Failed iSCSI Login Status Window
On Solaris systems, a failed login is found in the /var/adm/messages directory and should look similar
to the following example:
Mar 14 11:44:42 ca-sun1 iscsid[12561]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] login rejected: initiator
error (01)
Mar 14 11:44:42 ca-sun1 iscsid[12561]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Hard discovery login
failure to 172.22.91.223:3260 - exiting
Mar 14 11:44:42 ca-sun1 iscsid[12561]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] discovery process for
172.22.91.223 finished, exiting
Displaying iSCSI Authentication Using Fabric Manager
Whenever you experience a login failure, choose End Devices > iSCSI, select the Globals tab, and
view the AuthMethod field to see if the iSCSI authentication is correctly defined.
Displaying iSCSI Authentication Using the CLI
Whenever you experience a login failure, use the show authentication command to see if the iSCSI
authentication is correctly defined. This is an example of local authentication:
switch# show authentication
authentication method:none
console:not enabled
telnet/ssh:not enabled
authentication method:radius
console:not enabled
telnet/ssh:not enabled
