I am trying to install Oracle RAC in a two node cluster for testing purposes, so performance is not something that concerns me. I just want to go through the process all the way to creating a database. I have all the prerequisites except the shared storage and thought I'd give this a try.
I'm running: - CentOS 5.3 kernel 2.6.18-164.el5 - iscsitarget-1.4.18-1 - iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.868-0.18.el5_3.1
I can discover and login to the node using iscsiadm on the server that is not also running iet, and see the new scsi disk.
When I try to login using iscsiadm on the server that is running the ietd daemon, I see packets going over the lo interface in both directions, but I get error 8 - connection timed out. Wireshark is reporting TCP Previous segment lost errors with large sequence numbers like 2999833 and 8999718.
Has anybody tried this, and can anybody offer any help?
Thanks. Linus
