[CentOS] CentOS5 with Dell Broadcom iSCSI Offload, does it work ?

[Drew Weaver]

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

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.
