Hi all,
After finding multiples answers to this question via google, but without making it work on my servers. Has anybody iSCSI Offload working on a Dell Server with Broadcom NICs ?
My environment: I'm running CentOS 5.6 CR, on a Dell PowerEdge R710 with Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 conecting to an EMC CX4-120 SAN, via 2x Cisco 2960G-24TC-L switches. It's working without the iSCSI offload.
Thanks in advance,
Antonio.http://www.dell.com/us/enterprise/p/broadcom-netxtremeii-5709-iscsi/pd.aspx

On the other hand Dell has documentation on how to use your card for iSCSI offloading:
http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/network/BroadCom/R230837/en/linux...
Important part is to load the cnic module together with the bnx2i module. You must see a message like
bnx2i [05:00.00]: ISCSI_INIT passed
at system bootup.
