Hi, I could be wrong here but don't you go into the Broadcom NIC configuration while the server is booting and add the iSCSI target in there and then it should appear as "Just Another Volume (TM)" to the operating system? I've never tried it but I assume thats how the 'offloading' works. thanks, -Drew -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Antonio da Silva Martins Junior Sent: Friday, September 09, 2011 8:01 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] CentOS5 with Dell Broadcom iSCSI Offload, does it work ? 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. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Antonio S.
