RHBA-2016:1999 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The iscsi-initiator-utils packages provide the server daemon for the Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) protocol, as well as the utility programs used to manage it. The iSCSI protocol is a protocol for distributed disk access using SCSI commands sent over Internet Protocol (IP) networks.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Discovery of iSCSI storage targets using the Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) protocol did not properly bind the discovered target portal to offloading iSCSI Host Bus Adapter (HBA) interfaces. As a consequence, iSNS discovery failed when performed by offloading iSCSI HBAs. With this update, iSNS binds the target portal as expected, and thus ensures that offloading iSCSI HBAs enables iSNS discovery. (BZ#1365615)

Users of iscsi-initiator-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
