Synopsis
iscsi-initiator-utils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated iscsi-initiator-utils packages that fix various bugs are now
available.
Description
The iscsi-initiator-utils package provides the server daemon for the iSCSI
protocol, as well as the utility programs used to manage it. iSCSI is a
protocol for distributed disk access using SCSI commands sent over Internet
Protocol (IP) networks.
This updated package addresses the following bugs:
- IPv6 addresses are now properly supported and can be displayed by
iscsiadm correctly.
- the IPv6 README incorrectly suggested the Internet Storage Name Service
(isns) was supported. It is not supported and the README now reflects this.
- the iscsiadm tool required the target name and portal to be passed in.
- the default initiator name did not conform to the iSCSI RFC.
- the iscsiadm tool and iscsid daemon man pages contained incorrect
information about the debug option.
- the iSCSI timer documentation did not adequately explain how to set
timers for multipath, root-on-iscsi and standard usage.
- the initiator did not handle asynchronous events indicating when the
Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) had changed. The initiator will now add new
devices. It will not remove old devices.
- the initiator would fail to log into Equallogic targets if
DefaultTime2Wait was not zero.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated iscsi-initiator-utils package,
which resolves these issues.
