Pardon my banter, after drinking some more coffee and waking up, I think I pretty much answered my own question....
In this case, "not supported" MOST likely means not currently enabled
I return you to a better program already in progress.....

Not supported by CentOS/RHEL or...?
The adapters are Broadcom 5709 which are capable of hardware offload/iSCSI HBA, though it isn't currently enabled (no key).
Trying to rationalize why bnx2i is being invoked if hardware offload isn't supported.

Here is an sample of the error messages:

Understanding that bnx2i is used for hardware iscsi, why is this error occurring?

This was asked 2 or 3 days ago ... it refers to hardware offloading isn't supported I believe. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
