IPv6 iSCSI login to Intel Corporation EqualLogic arrays using jumbo frames
To establish an iSCSI session using IPv6 and jumbo frames with Dell EqualLogic arrays, TCP/UDP
checksum offloads on the Intel iSCSI adapter should be disabled.
Microsoft Windows iSCSI/DCB Known Issues
iSCSI over DCB using Microsoft* Windows Server* 2012
iSCSI over DCB (priority tagging) is not possible on the port on which VMSwitch is created. This is by design
in Microsoft* Windows Server* 2012.
Automatic creation of iSCSI traffic filters for DCB is only supported on networks which make use of IPv4 addressing
The iSCSI for Data Center Bridging (DCB) feature uses Quality of Service (QOS) traffic filters to tag outgoing
packets with a priority. The Intel iSCSI Agent dynamically creates these traffic filters as needed on networks
using IPv4 addressing.

Linux Known Issues
Channel Bonding
Linux Channel Bonding has basic compatibility issues with iSCSI Boot and should not be used.
Authentications errors on EqualLogic target may show up in dmesg when running Red Hat* Enterprise Linux 4
These error messages do not indicate a block in login or booting and may safely be ignored.
LRO and iSCSI Incompatibility
LRO (Large Receive Offload) is incompatible with iSCSI target or initiator traffic. A panic may occur when
iSCSI traffic is received through the ixgbe driver with LRO enabled. The driver should be built and installed
with:
# make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DIXGBE_NO_LRO install
FCoE Boot Configuration

Installing and Configuring Intel® Ethernet FCoE Boot on a Microsoft* Windows* Cli-
ent
WARNINGS:
l Do not update the base driver via the Windows Update method
Doing so may render the system inoperable, generating a blue screen. The FCoE Stack
and base driver need to be matched. The FCoE stack may get out of sync with the base
driver if the base driver is updated via Windows Update. Updating can only be done via the
Intel® Network Connections Installer.
l If you are running Microsoft* Windows Server* 2012 R2, you must install
KB2883200.
Failure to do so may result in an Error 1719 and a blue screen.
