RHBA-2013:0816 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated scsi-target-utils packages that fix one bug are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The scsi-target-utils package contains a daemon and tools to setup Small
Computer System Interface (SCSI) targets. Currently, software Internet SCSI
(iSCSI) and iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) targets are supported.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Attempts to add a new iscsi target device with the "--bstype aio" command

failed on the tgtadm utility with an "invalid request" error message. In a
related matter, the following error message was in /var/log/messages, "tgtd:
tgt_device_create(521) failed to find bstype, aio." This update checks for the
presence of libaio to enable the aio bstypes, and adds libaio as a runtime
dependency. Now, using the "--bstype aio" command with the tgtadm utility no
longer fails, and attempts to add a new logical unit are successful. (BZ#960922)

Users of scsi-target-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix this bug. All running scsi-target-utils services must be restarted for
the update to take effect.
