Hi all,
I have the strangest problem on one of our backup server. iscsi doesn't start at all, and gives the following error:
[root@2U-NAS ~]# /etc/init.d/iscsi status iscsid is stopped
[root@2U-NAS ~]# /etc/init.d/iscsi start iscsid is stopped Starting iSCSI daemon: Unable to create pid file: /var/run/brcm_iscsiuio.pid [FAILED] Setting up iSCSI targets: iscsiadm: No records found! [ OK ]
[root@2U-NAS ~]# /etc/init.d/iscsi restart Stopping iSCSI daemon: iscsiadm: can not connect to iSCSI daemon (111)! iscsiadm: initiator reported error (20 - could not connect to iscsid) iscsiadm: Could not stop iscsid. Trying sending iscsid SIGTERM or SIGKILL signals manually
iscsid is stopped [ OK ] Starting iSCSI daemon: Unable to create pid file: /var/run/brcm_iscsiuio.pid [FAILED] Setting up iSCSI targets: iscsiadm: No records found! [ OK ]
All other services on this machine works fine and could write their pid file, but not iscsi. Google search didn't help me much with this error either. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iSCSi but that doesn't help either.
This is on CentOS 5.5
[root@2U-NAS ~]# uname -a Linux 2U-NAS 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 18:44:24 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@2U-NAS ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
Has anyone seen this before?
